Outcry in Sudan as US reportedly holds al-Burhan’s UN visa over truce plan

Reports indicate the United States withheld Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's UN visa, conditioning its issuance on his acceptance of a 90-day truce in the ongoing civil war. Sudanese activists and journalists have criticized this reported move as political pressure, while the UN Secretariat urged the US to ensure visas are issued in accordance with its obligations.
