Al-Burhan: The political process in Sudan depends on the end of the war. The Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces have been fighting a devastating war since mid-April 2023.
The war has left more than 13,000 dead and about 8 million displaced and refugees, according to United Nations estimates. In addition to the Saudi and American mediation efforts, efforts made by the Intergovernmental Authority for Development in East Africa (IGAD) did not succeed in holding a meeting between Al-burhan and Hemedti.
