The head of Sudan's Sovereign Council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has vowed to continue the country's military campaign until "every inch" of territory is retaken, according to Anadolu Agency.
Burhan reiterated his rejection of negotiations with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group that has been fighting Sudan's armed forces in a conflict that has caused widespread displacement and humanitarian suffering across the country. He pledged to press ahead with a military option rather than pursue a negotiated settlement, the report said.
Sudan has been engulfed in conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces, loyal to Burhan, and the RSF, led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, since fighting broke out between the two former allies. The war has drawn international calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian access, with various regional and international mediation efforts attempted over the course of the conflict.
Anadolu Agency's report does not detail the specific territorial areas Burhan was referring to as still under RSF control, nor does it specify the forum in which his comments were made.
International organisations have repeatedly warned of severe humanitarian conditions in Sudan as a result of the fighting, including large-scale displacement and disruptions to food and medical supplies, though Burhan's latest remarks focus on the military rather than humanitarian dimension of the conflict.
