Gen Abdel-Fattah Burhan will discuss the conflict with the leader of neighbouring South Sudan, Salva Kiir.
Sudan’s top military general is heading to South Sudan to talk with its president on his second trip abroad since the war in his country started earlier this year.
In April, simmering tensions between the military, led by Gen Burhan, and the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces , commanded by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, exploded into open fighting in the capital and elsewhere. In the western Darfur region – the scene of genocidal campaign in the early 2000s – the conflict has morphed into ethnic violence, with the RSF and allied Arab militias attacking ethnic African groups, according to rights groups and the United Nations.
More than 4.8 million people have been displaced, according to the UN migration agency. Those include more than 3.8 million who fled to safer areas inside Sudan and more than one million others who crossed into neighbouring countries.
