Graham: We should take back Bagram AFB\">top military leader<\/a>, Abdel-Fattah Burhan, has rejected a U.S.-mediated ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Burhan criticized the proposal for effectively dismantling the SAF while allowing the RSF to retain power, calling it the &#8220;worst document yet&#8221; and accusing the mediation process of bias. This marks the SAF&#8217;s first clear response after the RSF agreed to the ceasefire earlier in the month. The ceasefire was brokered by the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates. meanwhile, former President Donald Trump expressed his intention to work with Arab leaders to end the conflict. The fighting has resulted in meaningful civilian casualties, including a deadly RSF attack on El Fasher. The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also urged both sides to cease hostilities immediately and engage in negotiations for peace. Burhan insists that peace can only be achieved by fully eliminating the RSF, stating any talks without this outcome are invalid.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Sudan leader scoffs at US ceasefire proposal<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2412511\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/sudan\/\">Sudan<\/a>&lsquo;s top general rejected a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-taking-southern-gaza-for-maximum-pressure-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Israel taking southern Gaza for &#039;maximum pressure&#039;- Washington Examiner\">ceasefire proposal mediated<\/a> by the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-states\/\">United States<\/a>, which seeks to end the civil war between the Sudanese <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/military\/\">military<\/a> and a paramilitary group.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Sudan_tweet\/status\/1992853105025667371\">video released Sunday<\/a>, Abdel-Fattah Burhan said the proposal effectively eliminated the Sudanese Armed Forces but maintained the power of the opposing Rapid Support Forces.

When he was presented with the &ldquo;unacceptable&rdquo; document, the general said he expressed his dismay, noting he didn&rsquo;t read the paper. Instead, he referred it to the &ldquo;relevant&rdquo; committees considering the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Burhan maintained the SAF did not prevent humanitarian aid or use chemical weapons while fighting the RSF, as alleged by Boulos.<\/p>\n<p>In the general&rsquo;s mind, the only way to peace is to eliminate the RSF fully.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I want everyone to know that any negotiations that do not lead to the elimination of this militia are invalid,&rdquo; Burhan said. He later added, &ldquo;The militia is no longer welcome among Sudanese people, and I don&rsquo;t think anyone believes it will have any future role in Sudan.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In his rejection of the ceasefire proposal, Burhan cited the RSF-led attack on El Fasher late last month before the proposal was announced. Some estimates show as many as 2,500 total civilians died in the attack.
