President Ramaphosa eagerly anticipates a meeting with General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council, to further discuss ways to address the crisis.

The situation in Sudan has been marked by violence and instability, with various factions engaged in conflict. The impact of this turmoil has been devastating, leading to widespread displacement, loss of life, and a humanitarian catastrophe.
