Songhai MENA Director Speaks to BBC Following Announcement that Sudan’s Army Chief is Ready to Talk

Five months on and 5,000 deaths later, Sudan’s army chief, Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan says he’s ready to negotiate with arch-rival, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, leader of the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This is visibly a positive step in a brutal conflict that has left thousands dead and displaced over 5 million. In this interview with BBC World News, Songhai Advisory’s MENA Director, Anoushka Kurkjian, explains what the implications of this latest announcement are.
