Sudan’s Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said Sunday (November 23, 2025) the latest truce proposal sent by U.S. envoy Massad Boulos on behalf of a group of mediators was the “worst yet” and unacceptable to his government.

In a video address released by his office, he said the Quad, which in addition to the United States includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, was “biased” as long as Abu Dhabi was a member.

He accused Mr. Boulos of parroting talking points from Abu Dhabi, which has been widely accused of arming the RSF. The UAE denies the accusations.

The Army chief said that with the UAE as a member, the Quad was “not innocent of responsibility, especially since the entire world has witnessed the UAE’s support for rebels against the Sudanese state”.
