Sudan tells the UN General Assembly it rejects imposed solutions; General al-Burhan's US visa was denied

29 September 2026

On 28 September 2026 Sudan's Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salim Ahmed Ibrahim addressed the UN General Assembly in place of de facto head of state General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
He called the denial of General al-Burhan's US visa deeply regrettable and called on the UN to examine the incident and uphold the 1947 Headquarters Agreement.
He rejected any attempt to impose solutions, dictates or external agendas on Sudan's people.
He called for Security Council reform, including two permanent African seats.
The civil war between the de facto government and the Rapid Support Forces has run since April 2023.
