Sudan's Sovereign Council Leader Vows No Negotiation With Armed Groups

Recent weeks have seen significant military progress by the Sudanese army against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF): it has retaken almost all of Khartoum North, a city located on the right bank of the Blue Nile. Along with Khartoum and Omdurman, it forms the metropolitan area. Now, only the Kafouri neighborhood remains to be secured.

However, speaking during a visit to the Omdurman military area, located west of the capital Khartoum, al-Burhan emphasized the army's unwavering support for those who have fought alongside it in what he termed the "war of dignity."

"The army will not abandon those who took up arms to fight alongside it," al-Burhan was quoted as saying.

He further underscored inclusivity in Sudan's political future.
"They will be partners in any political project in the country. We will not exclude anyone," he reportedly said.
