In his conversation with Sputnik today, Sunday, he added that it was built after the Jeddah agreement, which was not implemented due to the mediators’ laxity in pressuring the Rapid Support Forces to fulfill their commitments. Mustafa continued, the United States has not been serious about resolving the Sudan crisis so far, and will not be serious unless it engages with the allies of the conflicting parties and involves them in mediation and resolution.
The head of the People’s Movement pointed out that a fair and comprehensive solution to the Sudan crisis is necessary, especially since the Sudanese army and its allies now control more than 80% of Sudan’s territories. This control gives them the upper hand and allows them to impose their agenda and succeed in negotiations.
Mustafa believes that the success of any negotiation depends on involving Russia and Egypt in addition to America and Saudi Arabia. As for the UAE and Kenya, they are not important because they only execute the agendas of the major powers, and therefore America’s presence is enough, according to his expression.
The commander of the Sudanese army, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, held a prolonged meeting with the US President’s advisor for African affairs, Mossad Boulos, in Switzerland to discuss a new American proposal aimed at enhancing peace efforts in Sudan, according to two Sudanese government sources.
Al-Taghyeer reported that the talks, which lasted three hours, occurred amidst escalating military confrontations and deteriorating humanitarian conditions, where both parties discussed the details of the American initiative that calls for a “comprehensive ceasefire and ensuring humanitarian aid access.”
A senior Sudanese government source confirmed that during the meeting, al-Burhan rejected any “political role” for the Rapid Support Forces, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), noting that Sudanese leadership had this stance before the meeting.
The warring forces continue to expand their operations, as the Rapid Support Forces launched a new attack on the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, resulting in the death of 40 people in the Abu Shouk camp for the displaced, according to local sources.
The humanitarian crisis has worsened with the rising number of famine victims, as 63 people died last week in El Fasher due to malnutrition, while families rely on animal feed for survival, according to local reports. UN data indicates that (about half of the population) suffers from food insecurity, while the international organization described the crisis as “the worst in modern history,” as the war enters its third year.
It is worth mentioning that Sudan is witnessing a practical division between the army controlling the eastern and central regions and the Rapid Support Forces dominating Darfur and parts of the south.
