The United States is intensifying diplomatic and economic pressure on Sudan's military leadership to facilitate an end to the ongoing conflict. According to Massad Boulos, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, the decision to deny a visa to Sudanese Armed Forces chief General Abdel Fattah Al Burhan for the UN General Assembly serves as a deliberate signal of Washington's disapproval. This action is part of a broader strategy that includes the implementation of sanctions and the expansion of arms embargoes against the warring factions. General Al Burhan, who faces allegations of war crimes and sanctions related to the use of chemical weapons, was expected to represent Sudan at the high-level UN summit. By restricting his access, the US administration aims to demonstrate its firm stance against the military's current conduct in the Sudanese war.
