Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, President of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereign Council, spoke in UN General Assembly.
In Sudan, Al-Burhan talked about the war led by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which commit atrocities such as ethnic cleansing, genocide, and targeting civilians.
He claimed that the RSF receives support from other countries, which has worsened the conflict, leading to the deaths of thousands and the displacement of millions.
He called for the RSF to be labeled a terrorist organization and for the Security Council to address these issues to avoid impunity.
Al-Burhan reaffirmed the Sudanese government’s commitment to protecting civilians and facilitating humanitarian aid, particularly in areas affected by RSF violence, where women and children have been the most impacted.
He condemned external forces for exploiting Sudan’s resources through power and economic coercion.
He emphasized that Sudan’s armed forces support the democratic transition initiated by the 2019 revolution and are committed to peace, working with groups aligned with the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement.
He reiterated that Sudan would not tolerate the return of the previous regime and urged the international community to label the RSF as a terrorist organization.
Al-Burhan also called for an immediate end to the aggression in Gaza and Lebanon and advocated for full UN membership for Palestine.
