US Withholds Sudan Army Chief's UN Visa Over Ceasefire Dispute, UN Expresses Concern
The United States has withheld a visa for Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to attend the UN General Assembly, linking it to his acceptance of a US-backed 90-day ceasefire proposal amid Sudan's ongoing civil war. Sudan's government views this as a violation of international law and has expressed regret. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the US to issue the visa, emphasizing the importance of full participation. Sudan's foreign minister is representing the country at the assembly instead.
