Watan – In a significant move, Sudan’s top leaders are meeting in Jeddah, with Saudi Arabia playing a key role. Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, head of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, and Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as “Hemedti” and leader of the Rapid Support Forces, are central to these talks.

Confidential sources, as quoted by the UAE-backed “Al-Arab” newspaper in London, indicated that both “Burhan” and “Hemedti” discreetly made their way to Saudi Arabia recently. Their mission? To broker a ceasefire and devise a strategy, under the patronage of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

This secret meeting, kept under wraps by both Saudi and Sudanese officials, comes after a break in earlier Jeddah talks supported by Saudi Arabia and the U.S.

A few months ago, these talks were paused due to repeated ceasefire violations. However, both nations have since shown their commitment to ending the conflict and tackling urgent humanitarian issues.

While the details of the talks between “Burhan” and “Hemedti” are still private, their joint presence in Saudi Arabia is a strong sign. It hints at a possible ceasefire and a new plan to end the current conflict.

In a recent BBC interview, Abdul Fattah al-Burhan expressed his willingness to talk with “Hemedti” to end the ongoing unrest in Sudan. He stressed the need for the Rapid Support Forces to protect civilians, a commitment both sides made in past Jeddah talks.

Burhan said, “If these rebel leaders want to pull back from civilian areas and go back to their bases, we’re open to talking.
