US Denies Visa to Sudan's al-Burhan Amid RSF Conflict, Signaling Alienation
The United States confirmed the denial of a visa to Sudan's army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, preventing his attendance at the UN General Assembly. This action is claimed by analysts to reflect US frustration with the Sudanese army's refusal to agree to a ceasefire with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and signals a shift in US pressure tactics. The impact on the conflict's trajectory and diplomatic efforts remains uncertain, particularly given Sudan's stated rejection of 'imposed solutions'.
