Riyadh – Sudanhorizon

The Chairman of the Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, on Monday, held talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, focusing on the crisis in Sudan and efforts to achieve security and stability.

Burhan arrived in Saudi Arabia earlier on Monday at the invitation of the Crown Prince, conveyed by Saudi Foreign Minister Waleed al-Khuraiji. Al-Khuraiji paid a short visit to Port Sudan, Saturday, where he called on Burhan.

The Saudi Press Agency reported that “His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, met on Monday at his office in Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh with the Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council of the Republic of Sudan, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his accompanying delegation.”

During the meeting, the two sides reviewed the latest developments in Sudan, their repercussions, and the efforts being made to achieve security and stability.

These talks are the first of their kind since the Saudi Crown Prince asked US President Donald Trump last month to personally intervene to end the war in Sudan. Saudi Arabia is active within the Quartet mechanism, which also comprises Egypt, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, and aims to end the ongoing military conflict in Sudan.

However, the Sudanese government has repeatedly expressed its objection to the UAE’s presence within the Quartet, stating that it would not cooperate with the UAE and will instead hold bilateral discussions with the other three countries to resolve the crisis.

On September 12, the foreign ministers of the Quartet presented a roadmap for ending the war in Sudan. This roadmap included an initial three-month humanitarian truce, leading to a permanent ceasefire, followed by the launch of a comprehensive and transparent transitional process.
