Saudi Arabia is shifting from a neutral mediator to the principal regional underwriter of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's effort to secure a political settlement in Sudan that entrenches military control under a civilian facade.

Sudanese Prime Minister Kamil Idris's recent call for inclusive dialogue and civilian transition is a disingenuous performance, as the power behind him, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Sudanese Armed Forces, have systematically obstructed every peace effort and refused to negotiate with the RSF as an equal party while depending on Islamist militias and Iranian support. This tragic charade, enabled by a complicit international community, exposes how the cynical machinations of unelected generals and their external backers are deliberately prolonging a devastating conflict and suffocating the legitimate aspirations of the Sudanese people for freedom and self-determination.
