Sudan's Burhan appeals to international community to counter 'sponsors' of rival RSF

Sudan's army chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, appealed to the international community to counter "sponsors" of the army's rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF), he said in his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.

More than 5 million people have been made homeless and thousands of civilians have been killed in a war that broke out over plans to formally integrate the RSF into the army as part of a political transition.
