"The head of the Sudanese Armed Forces has rejected a ceasefire plan presented by the United States and other mediators due to the involvement of the United Arab Emirates. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan told senior military commanders and security officials during an address released by his office late on Sunday that the truce proposal put forward this month by the Quad the moderator group including the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt is the worst one yet."
"Al-Burhan reiterated that Sudan considers the Quad to lack credibility due to the role of the UAE. The entire world has witnessed the UAE's support for rebels against the Sudanese state, he said. If the mediation continues in this direction, we will consider it to be biased mediation. The UAE is widely accused of arming and funding the RSF and helping to prolong the conflict to further its own regional interests and gain access to Sudan's gold and other minerals."
Sudan's military chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected a ceasefire proposal by the Quad because of the United Arab Emirates' role. He called the truce the worst yet and told commanders the plan would eliminate the armed forces and dissolve security agencies while leaving the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in place. The military demands the RSF retreat and be confined to specific areas under any ceasefire. Burhan accused the UAE of supporting and arming the RSF to advance regional interests and access Sudan's gold and minerals. The UAE denied the accusations, calling them a cynical publicity stunt.
