 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed.

 Sudan's Burhan rules out return to pre-war status with RSF


Sudan's Sovereign Council leader has said a return to the pre-war status with the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is not possible, Anadolu Agency reported.


Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan made the statement in a televised speech published by the Sudanese state television on the 69th anniversary of the country's independence from the British occupation.


He, however, voiced readiness "to engage in any genuine initiative that ends the war and ensures the safe return" of civilians to their homes.


"The situation cannot return to how it was before April 15, 2023, nor can we accept the presence of these murderers, criminals, and their supporters among the Sudanese people again," al-Burhan said in reference to the RSF.


Battle for power


He added that the Sudanese people are subject to killing, starvation, displacement, and violations by the RSF militias.


Nearly 25,000 people have been killed and over 10 million displaced since April 2023, when a battle for power erupted between Sudan’s army led by Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF headed by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.


The fighting has spread to at least 13 of Sudan’s 18 states, leading to catastrophic destruction and pushing millions to the brink of famine and death.


Mediation efforts led by several countries, including the US and Saudi Arabia, have not yet succeeded in securing a cease-fire amid reciprocal accusations by both the Sudanese army and RSF of hindering efforts.
