Sudanese Army’s Foreign Ministry Proposes Election Strategy Amid Civil War

Amid ongoing civil conflict, Sudan’s foreign ministry, aligned with the Sudanese army, has put forward a strategy for conducting elections. The proposal outlines the formation of a transitional government, the appointment of a civilian prime minister, and the facilitation of a national dialogue involving civil society.

Sudan’s military leader, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, stated that the country has developed a potential roadmap that includes a constitutional transition and the possibility of free elections in the future. He emphasized that a national dialogue would bring together key factions and conflicting parties to foster political stability.

Since April of last year, Sudan has been engulfed in turmoil following escalating tensions between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which erupted into full-scale conflict.

During a summit in Cairo on Tuesday, Burhan voiced his support for Arab-led reconstruction efforts in Gaza and reaffirmed Sudan’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause.

Burhan strongly condemned any plans to relocate Palestinians from their homeland, warning that such actions pose a serious threat to Arab national security and regional stability.

At the summit, Arab leaders endorsed Egypt’s post-war reconstruction plan for Gaza, which ensures that the two million Palestinians remain in the territory. This move directly counters U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to depopulate the area and repurpose it as a commercial project.

The $53 billion plan, approved by Arab leaders in Cairo, was widely seen as a rejection of Trump’s vision. The summit’s outcomes were welcomed by Hamas, dismissed by Israel, and met with lukewarm reactions from the Trump administration.
