The head of Sudan's Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said his country will not bow to what he described as pressure or blackmail, amid an ongoing dispute involving US visas.
"We do not need a visa to any country or anyone's permission," al-Burhan said, according to remarks carried by Anadolu Agency, framing the dispute as a matter of Sudanese sovereignty rather than a routine administrative disagreement.
The comments come amid tensions between Khartoum and Washington, though the specific circumstances of the visa dispute referenced by al-Burhan were not fully detailed in the available reporting. Sudan has been navigating a complex period of political transition and conflict, and its leadership has periodically pushed back against what it characterizes as external interference.
Al-Burhan has led Sudan's Sovereign Council amid a prolonged internal conflict that has drawn significant international attention and concern. His latest remarks suggest continued friction between Khartoum and Western governments over a range of diplomatic and travel-related issues.
Neither the US State Department nor Sudanese officials have released a detailed joint account of the dispute. Al-Burhan's statement was framed as a defense of national sovereignty in the face of outside pressure.
