South Sudan's Foreign Minister Ramadan Mohamed Abdullah announced a significant diplomatic visit by Sudanese Sovereignty Council Chairman Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan to Juba, aimed at addressing pressing peace issues in both South Sudan and Sudan. During his visit, Al-Burhan is set to meet with various peace parties, including South Sudan's First Vice President, Riek Machar, amid ongoing conflicts that have resulted in a humanitarian crisis.
The discussions will focus on the peace process in Sudan, where fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has escalated, leading to a devastating humanitarian situation. Local sources report continued violence, including artillery shelling and airstrikes, which have caused significant civilian casualties and displacement. The international community is increasingly urging for a resolution to the conflict to prevent further humanitarian disaster.
