Gen Burhan
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan is a Sudanese military leader who has played a pivotal role in the country's recent history, notably as the commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces. He came to prominence following the ousting of long-time dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019 and has since led the military's efforts in the ongoing civil war against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Burhan's leadership has been marked by a struggle for control over Sudan, especially after a coup in October 2021 that overthrew a joint military-civilian government. His actions and military strategies have drawn both national and international scrutiny amidst accusations of war crimes and human rights violations during the conflict.
