Sudan's Leader Vows to Destroy Rebel Army, Rejects Peace Talks

The head of Sudan's military government has declared that peace is impossible unless the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is wiped out. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, stated that any proposed solution including the RSF would only delay the country's crisis. He made the remarks in a recent public address. The RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces, formerly allies, have been engaged in a brutal civil war for over a year. The conflict has caused widespread destruction, killed tens of thousands, and created the world's largest displacement crisis. Burhan's statement signals a firm rejection of negotiated settlements that would integrate the RSF into a future state structure. It underscores the deep rift between the warring factions and suggests a prolonged military struggle lies ahead.
