Sudan’s Burhan warns against signs of split in ex-ruling party
Sudan's military leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan stands at the podium during a ceremony to sign the framework agreement between military rulers and civilian powers in Khartoum, Sudan on December 5, 2022.
Armed forces chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Monday criticised factional strife within its former ruling party as risky for Sudan after a move to reinstate an ally of deposed autocrat Omar al-Bashir as the party's leader.
The National Congress Party (NCP) has deep ties in the army and has seemed to sway its decision-making during the devastating 19-month-old war against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), in particular hindering attempts to broker a ceasefire.
