Al-Burhan Rejects Pre-War Status Quo, Criticizes RSF’s Role in Sudan's Crisis
SHARE

Sudanese President Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan has firmly rejected any possibility of returning to the pre-war status quo with the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), accusing them of exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian disaster. The 20-month conflict between the Sudanese military and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has left a profound and lasting impact on Sudanese society, driving over 10 million people from their homes and resulting in tens of thousands of deaths.

In a powerful televised address on Sudan’s 69th Independence Day, Al-Burhan spoke candidly about the gravity of the situation. He categorically stated that there would be no going back to the conditions that existed before the war. He referred to the RSF as “murderers and criminals,” holding them responsible for the widespread destruction, the targeting of civilians, and the ongoing instability within the country. Al-Burhan’s remarks highlighted the deep-seated anger among the Sudanese leadership and citizens, who view the RSF’s actions as a betrayal of Sudan’s sovereignty and peace.

“The situation cannot return to how it was before April 15, 2023, nor can we accept the presence of these murderers, criminals, and their supporters among the Sudanese people again,” Al-Burhan declared in his speech, calling for the elimination of the RSF’s presence in Sudanese society. The president’s words reflect the broader sentiment in the country, where the RSF is seen as a force of chaos and violence, responsible for countless atrocities against civilians.

Al-Burhan’s criticism of the RSF extended beyond its role in the conflict itself. He pointed out the group’s brutal tactics, which include indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations, looting, and the destruction of vital infrastructure. These actions have not only fueled the humanitarian crisis but have also undermined any potential for peace or stability in Sudan. The RSF’s involvement in mass atrocities, including the widespread use of child soldiers and other forms of exploitation, has drawn condemnation from international human rights organizations.

Despite the bleak situation, Al-Burhan expressed an openness to peace initiatives that could end the war and help reintegrate displaced civilians. However, he emphasized that any peace talks would require the complete disbandment of the RSF and the removal of its influence over Sudanese affairs. The president stressed that while he is open to dialogue, the continued presence of the RSF in Sudan remains completely intolerable, as it represents a direct threat to the country’s sovereignty and the safety of its citizens.

The war between the Sudanese army and the RSF has already claimed the lives of nearly 25,000 people and displaced millions more. The fighting has led to a humanitarian catastrophe, with large parts of the country now on the brink of famine. International efforts to mediate a ceasefire have thus far been unsuccessful, with sporadic clashes and airstrikes continuing to ravage Sudanese cities, including the capital, Khartoum. The war has devastated Sudan’s economy, healthcare system, and infrastructure, leaving the country struggling to cope with the humanitarian fallout.

The RSF’s role in the conflict has raised serious concerns among the international community, particularly regarding the group’s disregard for human rights and its destabilizing effect on the region. Despite efforts by the United Nations and various international bodies to bring both sides to the negotiating table, the RSF’s leaders remain defiant, refusing to disarm or negotiate a peaceful resolution.

In his address, Al-Burhan made it clear that Sudan’s sovereignty and the protection of its civilians are non-negotiable. He urged the international community to hold the RSF accountable for its crimes and to support Sudan in its efforts to restore peace and order. Al-Burhan’s comments underscore the growing frustration with the RSF, whose role in Sudan’s conflict has been widely criticized by human rights groups, Sudanese citizens, and international actors alike.

As Sudan continues to endure the devastating consequences of this conflict, the future remains uncertain. While the government remains committed to peace and rebuilding the nation, the continued presence of the RSF, coupled with the group’s violent actions, threatens to derail any hopes for a peaceful resolution. The people of Sudan are left to grapple with the harsh realities of war, with millions displaced, thousands dead, and a nation torn apart by violence and division.

Al-Burhan’s remarks serve as a stark reminder of the challenges facing Sudan, as well as the need for a decisive resolution to the conflict. Until the RSF is disbanded and held accountable for its actions, the road to peace and stability in Sudan remains a distant and uncertain prospect.
