Sudan plunged into chaos in mid-April when simmering tensions between the military and the paramilitary forces exploded into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, and elsewhere.
Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al Burhan departed on Tuesday on a flight to Egypt for his first trip abroad since fighting began with paramilitaries in April, the country's ruling Sovereign Council said.
The conflict between Burhan and his former deputy turned rival Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces , has raged since April 15. On Monday he was in the Red Sea city of Port Sudan where he made a fiery address to troops, vowing to fight the RSF who he branded mercenaries to"end the rebellion"."We are mobilising everywhere to defeat this rebellion, defeat this treason, by these mercenaries who come from all over the world," Burhan told cheering troops.
The plan calls for"civilian rule based on democratic norms" and"a single, professional, national military institution" -- the very sticking point which turned the former allies into rivals.
