The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) had previously proposed a meeting between the two generals, but Burhan rejected the proposal. According to the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Burhan set a condition that the Rapid Support Forces must evacuate the homes of civilians. No date has been set for the meeting, but expectations indicate that it will take place within the next few days. Bakhit added that this meeting could lead to the RSF becoming an involved party within Sudan’s future, though he noted that civil parties reject the RSF as part of Sudan’s future equation. He also referred to breakthroughs within the Sudanese army during the recent period.
