Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan called the U.S.-led ceasefire plan biased due to UAE’s support for RSF and demanded RSF disarmament before any talks, amid a conflict displacing 14 million.
- On Sunday, Sudan's Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected a U.S.-sent truce proposal on behalf of the mediators, calling it unacceptable and accusing the UAE of bias.
- Burhan said the Quad was biased because of the UAE's membership and accused Abu Dhabi of supporting rebels, while also accusing Massad Boulos of parroting Abu Dhabi's talking points and trying to impose conditions on the army.
- The proposed terms would, Burhan said, eliminate the armed forces and dissolve security agencies, while Rapid Support Forces agreed to the truce, according to multiple reports.
- Burhan's rejection dealt a blow to mediation efforts, analysts say, as the Army is on the back foot after losing its last major Darfur stronghold last month.
- Given the long-running war and huge displacement, rejection of the truce carries major humanitarian risks as the conflict, which began in April 2023, created the world's largest crisis with over 14 million displaced people.
