Sudan: Burhan reaffirms commitment to US peace efforts

Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, president of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council, said Thursday that he had written to Donald Trump to reaffirm Sudan’s commitment to Washington’s peace efforts. In a post on X, he made the statement days after US senior adviser Massad Boulos condemned a drone strike that killed at least 12 civilians in An Nuhud, West Kordofan, on October 9. On October 5, a joint force of armed groups allied with the Sudanese army said it had taken Bir Saliba in West Darfur from the Rapid Support Forces. The war between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions.
