 Sudan’s military leader rejects peace talks, demands RSF withdrawal


Sudan’s army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Wednesday ruled out a ceasefire until the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) withdraw from occupied cities, rejecting U.S.-backed peace talks set to begin in Genev, according to Sudan Tribune.


“Military operations will not cease until the last militia withdraws from the cities and villages they have violated and colonized,” Burhan stated.


He also dismissed calls for peace, asserting that “there can be no peace while the rebel militia occupies our homes.”


The U.S. special envoy to Sudan, Tom Perriello, confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that the Sudanese army declined to participate in the Geneva talks. However, he emphasized ongoing U.S. efforts to end the conflict and noted the RSF’s commitment to negotiations.


Burhan vowed to continue the fight, stating, “We will work tirelessly to celebrate the next Army Day with our country cleansed of the militia.”


The conflict between the army and the RSF, which erupted in April 2023, has resulted in widespread death and displacement, with millions affected.


The conflict has ravaged Sudan since April 15, spreading from the capital  Khartoum to Darfur, Kordofan, and other regions. The resulting humanitarian crisis has left millions displaced and facing severe shortages of food and medical supplies.
