President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday met with Sudan’s Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, as Türkiye seeks to help end the nearly 1,000-day conflict in the North African nation.
Sudan plunged into chaos in April 2023 when a power struggle between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) exploded into open fighting, with widespread mass killings and rapes, and ethnically motivated violence.
Erdoğan has repeatedly urged for sides to swiftly end the war and return to negotiations. Burhan earlier said he welcomed any role Türkiye could play in ending the conflict.
On Thursday, Erdoğan welcomed al-Burhan at the Presidential Complex in Ankara before they were to hold closed-door bilateral meeting.
The devastating war in Sudan has killed more than 40,000 people according to U.N. figures, but aid groups say the true number could be many times higher.
The conflict has created the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with over 14 million people displaced, disease outbreaks and famine spreading in parts of the country.
