Sudan’s Leaders Show Openness to Peace Talks Amid Ongoing Conflict

Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have indicated a willingness to engage in peace talks, following a call for dialogue from U.S. President Joe Biden. The conflict, which has persisted for over 17 months, began in April 2023 amid rising tensions between the two factions, which were once allies after a military coup.

Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan stated he is ready for “constructive efforts” to end the violence. Similarly, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo emphasized the importance of negotiations, saying, “The path to peace lies in dialogue, not violence.”

Despite these statements, both leaders continue to blame each other for the ongoing violence. Neither side has provided clear steps toward achieving peace, leaving many uncertain about the future. The conflict has led to significant humanitarian crises in the region, affecting millions of civilians.

While the leaders’ comments are a positive sign, many observers remain cautious. The lack of a concrete peace plan raises questions about their true commitment to ending hostilities. As the situation develops, the international community will be closely watching Sudan’s leaders to see if they can transform their willingness into actionable steps toward peace.
