Al-Burhan Submits Observations on Peace Plan Without Offering Concessions to Washington

President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, has submitted remarks to US negotiators regarding a proposed peace plan without signaling readiness to make concessions or accept a political settlement at the current stage, according to Africa Intelligence.

The initiative was put forward by Massad Boulos, adviser on African affairs to the US president, who said on February 3 that the plan could be acceptable to the warring parties. It was presented as part of efforts to pave the way toward a humanitarian truce. However, the Sudanese response reportedly reflected firm adherence to what were described as red lines.

According to the magazine, the United States Department of State confirmed it is aware of the proposal submitted by Al-Burhan, but stressed that the comprehensive framework developed by the Quartet countries in consultation with all stakeholders represents the most viable path forward.

The report added that Boulos is under pressure to achieve tangible progress on the Sudan file, warning that another setback could weaken his standing following earlier attempts that did not yield decisive results.

It also noted that the Sudan crisis has become part of the agenda of a proposed “Peace Council” discussed in the context of post–Gaza war arrangements, raising questions about its potential role in Sudan and concerns about overlap with United Nations institutions, particularly the United Nations Security Council.
