US President Donald Trump's adviser, Massad Boulos, stated during the Arab Media Summit in Dubai on Tuesday that there is no future for Sudan's warring generals in the country's political leadership. The US backs a rapid transition to civilian rule and excludes army chief Gen Abdel Fattah Al Burhan and Rapid Support Forces commander Gen Mohamed Dagalo from any political role.
Boulos emphasized that the US sees a future in a civilian transition, which must occur quickly and seamlessly, away from the two generals. He reiterated that addressing the humanitarian crisis remains a top priority for the US. Despite acknowledging that the road map to end the conflict has failed to produce results after a year, Washington remains committed to the initiative.
Both generals have been accused of war crimes and are subject to sanctions by the US and other countries. Recent evidence revealed that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), led by Gen Al Burhan, allegedly used chemical weapons in the conflict. The US has pushed for a ceasefire and an expanded UN arms embargo to cover the entire country.
However, Gen Al Burhan vowed to continue fighting until the RSF is defeated, rejecting US and regional powers' attempts to broker a ceasefire.
