Fattah al-Burhan on Monday dashed hopes of talks to end a months-long war, denouncing the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces as “traitors” and promising a decisive victory in a speech to soldiers. His speech came one day after the head of the RSF expressed openness to talks and a long-term ceasefire, and days after Burhan emerged from the capital Khartoum for the first time since the war broke out.
“We are dedicating all our time to this war … to ending this rebellion,” Burhan said, promising a quick and decisive victory, echoing previous statements from the military leadership.Burhan denied that his troops had received any foreign assistance and said his exit from the capital was thanks to a military operation involving the air force and navy, and that two soldiers had died in the action.
