Burhan: Sudan Will Reject Any Peace Proposal That Fails to Ensure Security, Stability
Speaking after Friday prayers in Umm Marrahi, north of Omdurman, on July 10, 2026, Sovereignty Council chairman Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said: 'Anything that does not satisfy the Sudanese people or achieve their security and stability, we will neither pursue nor accept... we will hand over this state only on the basis of a national consensus among all Sudanese.' Sudan's formal response to the US-brokered peace plan, delivered around this time, demanded full RSF withdrawal from held territory and UN-supervised disarmament and demobilization as preconditions — a position that set up the incompatible responses from SAF and RSF that stalled the framework through mid-July.
