Sudan’s Burhan Signals Willingness to Talk with UAE, Ceasefire Still Unlikely

Sudanese military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said his forces are open to dialogue with the United Arab Emirates, but a ceasefire is not expected in the near future. The comments came amid ongoing fighting in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, where clashes between rival factions have escalated.

Burhan’s remarks were made during a briefing in Khartoum, where he acknowledged the UAE’s interest in mediating the conflict. He emphasized that while talks could proceed, the current military situation does not permit an immediate halt to hostilities.

The statement reflects the broader diplomatic efforts to resolve Sudan’s internal conflict, though no concrete timeline for a ceasefire has been announced.
