Sudan's Sovereign Council leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, delivered a defiant message on Monday, firmly rejecting any foreign-imposed solutions to the ongoing conflict that has ravaged the nation.Speaking at a conference in Darfur, a region heavily impacted by the ongoing fighting between the Sudanese army and the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RFS), General al-Burhan reiterated his commitment to Sudanese self-determination, unequivocally stating that the Sudanese people will not accept externally dictated outcomes.He explicitly ruled out the possibility of a government imposed from outside the country, dismissing suggestions of reinstating former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok or any other leader chosen by international actors.Al-Burhan also rebuked mediation efforts by regional bodies such as the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), saying that their actions "will not gain the approval of the Sudanese people." He questioned the legitimacy of imposing leaders who are clearly unpopular within Sudan itself.The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which erupted in mid-April 2023, has already claimed the lives of over 20,000 people and displaced millions, pushing the country to the brink of famine, according to the UN and local authorities.The fighting has spread to 13 of Sudan's 18 states, leaving a trail of destruction and immense suffering. The ongoing violence has severely disrupted essential services, including healthcare and food distribution, exacerbating an already precarious humanitarian situation.

The general's speech comes amid growing advances by Sudanese army forces in areas previously controlled by the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RFS), including the capital Khartoum and its twin cities of Omdurman and Khartoum North (also known as Bahri). The army also managed to liberate Aljazeera State, a vital agricultural region.
Sudan's Sovereign Council leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, delivered a defiant message on Monday, firmly rejecting any foreign-imposed solutions to the
ongoing conflict that has ravaged the nation.
Speaking at a conference in Darfur, a region heavily impacted by the ongoing fighting between the Sudanese army and the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RFS), General al-Burhan reiterated his commitment to Sudanese self-determination, unequivocally stating that the Sudanese people will not accept externally
dictated outcomes.
"The Sudanese people will ultimately prevail, whether others like it or not, and they will not accept any foreign-imposed solutions," al-Burhan declared to the assembled delegates.
He explicitly ruled out the possibility of a government imposed from outside the country, dismissing suggestions of reinstating former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok or any other leader chosen by international actors.
"Whoever wants to govern Sudan must first come to the country and fight alongside the Sudanese people to defeat the rebellion [the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces]. There is no longer a place among us for foreign agents," said the army chief.
Al-Burhan also rebuked mediation efforts by regional bodies such as the
African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), saying that their actions "will not gain the approval of the Sudanese people." He questioned the legitimacy of imposing leaders who are clearly unpopular within Sudan itself.
The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which erupted in mid-April 2023, has already claimed the lives of over 20,000 people and displaced millions, pushing the country to the brink of famine, according to the UN and local authorities.
The fighting has spread to 13 of Sudan's 18 states, leaving a trail of destruction and immense suffering. The ongoing violence has severely disrupted essential services, including healthcare and food distribution, exacerbating an already precarious humanitarian situation.
