Sudan army chief supports resolution to end ongoing military conflict

In a statement released by Sudan's ruling Sovereign Council, al-Burhan affirmed the government's backing for any resolution that can halt the war initiated by rebel militias, with the involvement of foreign mercenaries, and restore peace for the Sudanese people.

These remarks were made during a phone call with Comoran President and African Union Chairperson Azali Assoumani. The conversation also focused on the Saudi-led efforts to mediate the conflict in Sudan.

The statement further underscored Assoumani's emphasis on the necessity of an African-led solution to restore peace in Sudan. Notably, a one-day ceasefire brokered by Saudi Arabia and the United States went into effect on Saturday between the army and the RSF.

It is crucial to acknowledge that previous ceasefires between the two sides have been repeatedly violated, with both parties accusing each other of breaches. Since the conflict began on April 15, it has resulted in significant casualties and the displacement of approximately 1.4 million people from their homes. The RSF forces maintain a notable presence in various neighborhoods of the capital, while the army has carried out airstrikes.

Given the critical situation in Sudan, the international community closely monitors the developments, hoping for a lasting resolution that brings an end to the violence and alleviates the suffering experienced by the nation's people.

Medical sources report that clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group have resulted in nearly 1,000 deaths and thousands of injuries since April 15.  (ILKHA)
