In the context of the ongoing civil war, the foreign ministry linked to the Sudanese army has put forward a plan for conducting elections. This proposal entails the formation of a transitional government, the appointment of a civilian prime minister, and the promotion of a national dialogue involving civil society.
Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, Sudan’s military leader, indicated that the country has introduced a potential “roadmap” that encompasses a “constitutional transition” and the prospect of future free elections.
He emphasized that the national dialogue would engage all major factions and conflicting parties within Sudan.
Since April of last year, Sudan has been engulfed in chaos following escalating tensions between the military and the Rapid Support Forces, which culminated in widespread violence.
During a summit in Cairo on Tuesday, Burhan expressed strong support for Arab leaders’ reconstruction efforts for Gaza.
He reaffirmed Sudan’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian people’s quest for an independent state, consistent with the two-state solution.
“We categorically reject any initiatives aimed at displacing our Palestinian brothers from their homeland under any pretext, as this threatens Arab national security and undermines regional and global stability,” he stated.
At the summit, Arab leaders backed Egypt’s post-war strategy for the Gaza Strip, which seeks to ensure that the approximately 2 million Palestinians can remain, in contrast to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to depopulate the area and convert it into a beach resort.
The endorsement of the $53 billion plan by Arab leaders in Cairo was a definitive rejection of Trump’s vision.
The summit’s outcomes were lauded by Hamas, dismissed by Israel, and received a lukewarm response from the Trump administration.
