Sudan's al-Burhan Rejects US Pressure Amid Visa Dispute, Vows Continued War
Sudanese Sovereign Council President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has confirmed his commitment to continuing the war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and rejected external pressure, specifically framing US visa restrictions as blackmail. This stance, coupled with Sudan's foreign minister rejecting US positions on legitimacy, indicates a hardening of Khartoum's diplomatic posture and a likely complication of international mediation efforts. Confidence in this assessment is Medium-High.
