JUBA, SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – The head of Sudan’s ruling sovereign council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, arrived in Juba on Monday, where he was received at Juba International Airport by South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir.

Sudan’s acting foreign minister Ali al-Sadiq said following al-Burhan’s arrival at Juba airport that his country sees South Sudan as a “natural partner” in mediation efforts aimed at bringing the conflict in Sudan to an end.

“We in Sudan feels that South Sudan is the best country to meditate the conflict in Sudan, because we have been one country for so long and we know each other, we know the problems and we know our needs,” he said.

For his part, South Sudan’s cabinet minister Martin Elia Lomuro said Kiir is the best person to mediate between the Sudanese parties.

“It is known that President Kiir is the only person who has intimacy and knowledge about Sudan and can find a solution to the Sudanese crisis,” he said.

The visit is al-Burhan’s second trip outside Sudan since the conflict erupted in Khartoum on 15th April this year.

After fleeing the general command of the armed forces where he was besieged by the rebellious Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Al-Burhan traveled to Egypt last week where he held talks with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.

Sudan has been in political turmoil since the overthrow of longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019.

A transitional government was formed, but it has been plagued by divisions between the military and civilian factions.

In October 2021, al-Burhan led a coup against the civilian government, dissolving the transitional government and arresting several civilian leaders.

The coup sparked widespread protests and observers blame it for the ongoing conflict which has killed thousands of people, mostly civilians, and displaced millions to internal areas and neighboring countries including South Sudan which is hosting thousands.

    You know what Martin Elia, the issue of Sudan is the problematic and that so ridiculous of decades and decades. Well, you said that Kiir has knowledge about the issue of Sudan and is the only person who can negotiate the matter. I can say, it is a white lie because all of us knows the issues of Sudan.

    with reference to CPA, the Sudan problem got negotiated and documented internationally, means when ever you go to any library in this continent of Africa we are in, you still under and read about the Sudan problems.

    There is nowhere you can make Salva Kiir busy on the matters of Khartoum and started forgetting matters of his home Country. Am not saying that Salva Kiir can not mediates the issue of Sudan, but the IGAD countries trusted William Ruto and the current president of Kenya to mediates the matter of Sudan as deputize by president Salva of Sudan. I think that where the deal can goes smoothly.

    my advice to my fellow Sudanese from North, the IGAD countries are the only pillars within conflicting matters at which they are trusted by Western descends. Now that you are rejecting Ruto and you named him to be just a mosquito thst can’t bite, I don’t think that such abusing words can resolved your matters, it is better to accept the table with whoever fighting with you people. When you are sharing the peace peace process, there is no way of favoring one side as the leader of Supreme military Council claims to be the hot point that Ruto will favour Hamadti, it will never happened.

    I want to say that Ruto will be monitored by the world wishers includes South`s Sudan Salva Kiir, the one you are needed mostly to negotiate your matters as ends up leaving his problems on the ground.

    If you don’t have other agendas or insiders issues, than don’t waste time because time wasted will never be recovered instead it will get lost.

    As rights activists, I urgue Sudanese people to accept peace without delay and repatriated their own people back home, reason being due to the outbreak of April war, thousand of Sudanese plunged to South Sudan, yet they have run to another problem.
