Sudan: Humanitarian Ceasefire Suspended Over Visa Dispute

During the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the Sudanese crisis is at the heart of diplomatic discussions. The participation of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan in the Sovereign Council is blocked by the US refusal to grant him a visa, linked to a proposed 90-day ceasefire that Khartoum reportedly rejected. The dispute threatens to hinder efforts for a humanitarian truce and a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Abdalla Hamdok is holding meetings to rally international support, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasizes the importance of external influence to advance the process.
