The United States has delayed Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's planned visit to the United Nations, sources indicate, as Washington pushes for a ceasefire in the ongoing civil war. The move comes amid growing pressure on Sudan’s warring factions to accept a humanitarian truce and engage in political negotiations. The U.S. State Department has reiterated its commitment to ending the conflict, which has entered its fourth year and caused widespread civilian casualties.
A senior Sudanese official confirmed that Burhan had postponed his scheduled appearance at the UN, citing the U.S. Decision. The delay is seen as a strategic move by Washington to leverage its influence in the peace process. However, Khartoum has so far resisted the U.S.-backed proposal, leading to increased diplomatic tensions. The conflict, now classified as the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, continues to claim numerous lives and displace thousands.
The U.S. Has also called for an immediate humanitarian truce, emphasizing the urgent need for an inclusive political process. Despite the diplomatic standoff, the U.S. Remains determined to mediate a resolution. Meanwhile, the situation on the ground remains volatile, with no signs of a swift de-escalation. The international community watches closely as the conflict threatens to escalate further.
