> Media reports say the United States withheld Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s visa for the UN General Assembly to pressure him into accepting a proposed 90-day ceasefire. Sudanese activists and journalists called the move political pressure, while the UN urged Washington to meet its obligations as host country. Neither Sudan nor the US has confirmed the reports.
