"The head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council of Sudan, Abdel Fattah Burhan, will not take part in the Arab League summit, which will be held in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah," the source said.
Sudan will be represented at the summit by Deputy Foreign Minister and Special Representative Dafallah Al-Haj Ali, the source said.
On April 15, intense clashes broke out between Sudan's regular armed forces and the paramilitary group of the Rapid Support Force (RSF), the epicenter of which was in Khartoum. Government forces accused the RSF of rebellion and carried out air strikes against their bases. Abdel Fattah Burhan, head of the Sudanese military, issued a decree dissolving the RSF.
Since then, the parties have instituted a series of temporary nationwide truces, but the conflict is still unresolved.
According to the Sudanese Doctors Union, the number of civilians killed in clashes in Sudan has reached 822.
