Sudan’s army chief meets Qatar leader in diplomatic push

DOHA: Sudanese army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan met Qatar’s Emir on Thursday during his third trip abroad since war broke out in April, after also visiting Egypt and South Sudan in recent days.

Al-Burhan, whose troops are fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces or RSF, had spent months under siege inside the military headquarters in Khartoum and stayed in conflict-hit Sudan until late August.
