Sudan's Burhan Rejects Peace Proposals, Bars RSF Return to Power

Sudan's Sovereignty Council chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has confirmed the exclusion of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from any post-war national dialogue and rejected new peace proposals that would grant them political or military gains. This hardens the government's stance, signaling a continued military approach to the conflict and reducing prospects for a negotiated settlement. The implications are a likely prolongation of the civil war and deepening humanitarian crisis.
