General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of the Sudanese Armed Forces, has conducted a series of unannounced, discreet consultations regarding the future of a national dialogue in Sudan. The primary objective of these meetings is to establish a foundation for a comprehensive conference aimed at resolving the country's protracted political crisis.

While the military leadership has framed these discussions as a necessary step toward national reconciliation, the specific details regarding which political factions or civil society groups were invited to participate remain undisclosed. The move comes amid a backdrop of significant internal conflict and international pressure for a return to civilian-led governance.

Because the meetings were held without prior public notice, there is currently no confirmation on whether opposition groups or pro-democracy movements were included in the dialogue. Observers note that the success of any national conference will likely depend on the willingness of the military to share power and the ability of various Sudanese factions to reach a consensus on a transition roadmap. As of now, the military has not released a formal statement detailing the participants or the specific agenda items discussed during these sessions.
