Nobody Hands Over a Gun for Nothing

[African Arguments] On 6 October, Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan reiterated that there would be no negotiations with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, or 'any other party', and that the war would continue until victory. A day earlier, Donald Trump's envoy Massad Boulos disclosed a meeting with him in Egypt. Washington is pushing for a 90-day humanitarian truce and, according to sources cited by Reuters, conditioned Burhan's visa for the UN General Assembly upon it.
