Sudan’s army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Sunday rejected a new US. proposal presented by White House adviser Massad Boulos, branding it the “worst paper” submitted to date for demanding the dissolution of state security agencies while leaving paramilitary forces intact.
Burhan addressed senior army officers of the rank of major general and above in Khartoum. He was accompanied by his assistants General Yasir Al-Atta and General Ibrahim Jabir, as well as the army chief of staff and his deputies, the deputy directors of the police and General Intelligence Service, and a representative of the Joint Forces.
During the meeting, Burhan warned that if the mediation process continued in this direction, the army would consider it “non-neutral,” accusing the U.S. envoy of attempting to impose dictates on the country.
“The paper presented by the Quad through Massad Boulos… is considered the worst paper to be presented, as it nullifies the existence of the Armed Forces, demands the dissolution of all security agencies, and maintains the rebellious militia in its positions,” Burhan said.
The army chief expressed concern that Boulos would become an obstacle to peace, citing the envoy’s alleged claims that the government was obstructing humanitarian aid and had used chemical weapons.
“We tell him that this paper of yours is unacceptable,” Burhan told the gathering.
