Sudan military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s bid to seek international support and isolate his rivals in the Rapid Support Forces is being undermined by tales of atrocities back home, signaling an endless war.
This week, Lt-Gen Burhan travelled to Ankara where he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Ergogan, making it his fifth trip abroad since the war erupted in April. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the two had discussed international efforts for a permanent truce between the warring parties, and humanitarian response for which he said Turkey supports.
