Sudanese Army Chief Rejects External Dictates Amid Regional Map Controversy
Sudanese army commander General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan declared on Wednesday that Khartoum rejects any external dictates regarding the future governance of Sudan. Speaking to his supporters, al-Burhan emphasized that the Sudanese people alone hold the right to determine their destiny.
"We reject any external dictation regarding governance in Sudan. The doors of Sudan are open to the return of all those who desire peace and dialogue," al-Burhan stated.
Regional Alliances and the Israeli Map Controversy
The remarks follow a briefing by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who presented a map of regional alliances as part of his security doctrine. The map divided Sudan into two zones: areas under al-Burhan's army categorized within a friendly Sunni axis, and southwestern regions controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia linked to ties with Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Civil War and Humanitarian Crisis
Al-Burhan maintained that the RSF faces either surrender or death, ruling out negotiations until the rebellion is crushed. The civil war, which erupted in April 2023, has claimed over 150,000 lives and displaced millions, triggering a severe humanitarian catastrophe.
