🇸🇩🇺🇸🇺🇳⚡️ — The U.S. is withholding a visa for Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ahead of his scheduled UN General Assembly address in an effort to pressure him to accept a U.S.-backed 90-day ceasefire proposal that he has resisted, according to Reuters.

Sudan has appealed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres to intervene, arguing that preventing Burhan from attending would violate international obligations.

Burhan has postponed his trip, with Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salem expected to address the assembly instead.

Sudanese officials rejected Washington’s "take-it-or-leave-it" approach, insisting that any ceasefire proposal must remain open to negotiation.
