PORT SUDAN: Sudan's leader, General Abdel Fattah al Burhan, is ready to work with US President Donald Trump to resolve the conflict splitting his country, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday. The ministry released a statement after the army chief visited Riyadh as a guest of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who recently presented Trump with a proposed Sudan peace plan during a Washington visit.
According to Sudan's statement, Burhan hailed Trump's "determination to engage in efforts to achieve peace and end the war in the country, with the participation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. "He affirmed Sudan's keenness to work with President Trump, his secretary of state, and his envoy for peace in Sudan to achieve this unquestionably noble goal," it said, referring to Marco Rubio and US envoy Massad Boulos.
International peace efforts led by mediators from the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been at a standstill since Burhan rejected Boulos's last suggested framework. For the moment, no new date has been announced for talks. — AFP
