Abdelfatah Burhan is a Sudanese military general who has been a prominent figure in Sudan's political landscape since the ousting of long-time president Omar al-Bashir in 2019. As the head of the Sudanese Armed Forces, Burhan has held significant power, particularly after leading a coup against a transitional government in October 2021. He has been involved in ongoing conflicts with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and has faced criticism for failing to establish a path toward democratic governance, resulting in a deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan.
