Summary:

Sudan’s military chief, General Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan, has rejected a new truce proposal mediated by U.S. envoy Massad Boulos, calling it the “worst yet” and unacceptable. Burhan accuses Boulos of being biased and influenced by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which he alleges is arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against the Sudanese state. He believes the UAE’s involvement in the mediation process compromises its neutrality. Burhan insists on a complete retreat of the RSF as the only acceptable condition for peace. This rejection comes amidst ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, resulting in significant casualties, displacement, and a severe humanitarian crisis.

Sudan’s Army Chief Rejects US-Brokered Truce, Accuses Envoy of Bias

Port Sudan – November 24, 2025 — Hopes for a swift end to the Sudanese conflict suffered a setback today as Army Chief General Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan rejected a U.S.-brokered truce proposal. In a video address released by his office, Burhan slammed the plan as “the worst yet” and accused U.S. envoy Massad Boulos of being unduly influenced by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Burhan went on to allege the UAE is actively arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group battling the Sudanese army since April 2023. He argues that the UAE’s involvement in the Quad mediation effort, which also includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the U.S., taints the process.

“This entire world has witnessed the UAE’s support for rebels against the Sudanese state,” Burhan declared, insisting that a mediation process that involves the UAE would not be a neutral and honest one.

The rejected truce proposal reportedly calls for the dissolution of security agencies and allows the RSF to maintain its current positions, provisions Burhan finds unacceptable. “This proposal eliminates the armed forces…and keeps the militia where they are,” he stated.

Burhan’s criticism of Boulos comes shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to end the war following encouragement from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Burhan welcomed this U.S. initiative as “honest.”

The Sudanese Army Chief reiterated that the only acceptable peace deal would involve a complete withdrawal of the RSF to designated areas. “This is a war for survival,” he emphasized.

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has resulted in a devastating humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands killed and 12 million displaced. The situation has become the world’s largest hunger and displacement crisis. The army currently controls the north, east and centre of the country, including Khartoum, while the RSF controls the west and parts of southern Kordofan. With both sides believing a military victory is possible, negotiations have been stalled.
