The conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has resulted in an estimated 200,000 deaths and displaced over 14 million people. Diplomatic tensions have escalated as the United States challenged the legitimacy of Sudan’s military leadership, citing a lack of a constitutional mandate and the failure to present a viable plan to end the war. This stance was underscored by the U.S. decision to deny a visa to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan for the United Nations General Assembly. While Saudi Arabia has maintained engagement by expressing commitment to Sudan’s sovereignty and stability, the military leadership has attempted to re-engage with Washington. Al-Burhan reportedly wrote to U.S. President Donald Trump to reaffirm a commitment to American-led peace efforts and to express a willingness to work toward a settlement that protects Sudan’s unity. This outreach follows reports that the previous visa denial was linked to al-Burhan’s reluctance to sign a proposed 90-day ceasefire agreement. In a recent communication via X, al-Burhan stated that the Sudanese government is prepared to work in good faith with all parties to achieve a “just and lasting peace” that preserves the nation’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity. This comes as an international group including the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE has proposed a plan for a three-month humanitarian truce, followed by a nine-month transition toward a civilian-led government.
