Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected negotiations with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and vowed to retake all territory currently held by the group, according to Al Jazeera.
The announcement came as fighting widened across multiple regions of Sudan on Tuesday. At least 10 civilians were reported killed in West Kordofan amid the clashes.
In Blue Nile state, roughly 5,500 people were displaced as a result of the widening conflict, according to the report, adding to the scale of Sudan's ongoing humanitarian crisis stemming from the civil war between the army and the RSF.
Al-Burhan's rejection of talks signals a continued hardline stance from the army leadership, suggesting a prolonged military campaign rather than a near-term negotiated resolution to the conflict that has devastated large parts of the country since fighting erupted between the two forces.
The latest violence adds to a death toll and displacement crisis that has made Sudan's war one of the world's most severe ongoing humanitarian emergencies, with millions of people displaced nationwide since the conflict began.
