The President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, stated that Sudan’s crisis has clearly demonstrated the urgent need for a fundamental reform of the current global financial system to ensure justice, balance, and fair representation for developing countries in decision-making centers.
In his address on Monday in Seville, Spain, during the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, Al-Burhan emphasized that Sudan is not asking for sympathy or temporary aid, but rather for sustainable support based on genuine fairness and a just international system that enables Sudan to recover and fulfill its development obligations.
He affirmed that Sudan has made significant strides toward civil stability, including the appointment of a civilian Prime Minister in the transitional government. “This appointment reflects Sudan’s firm determination to complete state institutions and enhance the democratic civilian transition as a foundation for building a better future for our people,” he said.
Al-Burhan stated that Sudan is going through exceptional circumstances due to the devastating and aggressive war that erupted in April 2023, following the rebellion of a militia operating outside the law and against state institutions. This has led to widespread destruction of basic infrastructure and a severe humanitarian crisis.
Despite these grave challenges, he stressed that the Sudanese people remain hopeful and are eager to engage constructively with the international community to rebuild their stricken homeland, achieve development and peace, and defeat all conspiracies and targeted threats.
He called for the reform of global financial institutions to make them more flexible and responsive to crises and sustainable development needs.
Al-Burhan concluded by saying that, despite deep wounds, the Sudanese people aspire to establish a new international partnership based on mutual respect, national sovereignty, and shared interests.
