Burhan’s Political Stance
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of the Sovereignty Council and commander of Sudan’s armed forces, emphasized during a meeting with military officers that his forces are determined to retake all areas controlled by rebel groups in Kordofan and Darfur.
He stated that a ceasefire depends entirely on full withdrawal of paramilitary forces from occupied areas following the Jeddah Agreement. He rejected the quadripartite committee’s plan for halting hostilities as “unacceptable” and “biased.”
Al-Burhan also condemned a proposal presented by musaed Boulos, advisor to the U.S. president on Arab and African affairs,calling it “the worst plan.” He said it would effectively dissolve the army and dismantle security institutions while allowing paramilitary groups to remain entrenched in their territories.
He warned that continuing down this path would compromise impartial mediation efforts.

Over 600 others were forced from villages across northern and southern Kordofan. Access to many affected areas remains severely restricted.
