Sudan announces that the United Nations envoy is an "unwelcome person" in conflict. In Burhan | Sudan | United Nations
According to a report by the Associated Press in Cairo on June 9th, Sudanese authorities have claimed that the main mediator of the brutal conflict in the country and the United Nations Special Envoy for Sudan, Falk Perez, has become an unwelcome figure in this African country.
The report states that the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a brief statement late on the 8th local time. A few weeks ago, the Commander in Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces, Abdul Fatah Burhan, wrote to United Nations Secretary General Guterres, stating that the envoy had "become a source of negative impact on the United Nations" and demanded his dismissal.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that UN Secretary General Guterres has been officially declared an "unwelcome person".
Khartoum, the war-torn capital of Sudan
According to reports, since April 15th, the Sudanese Armed Forces led by Burhan and the "Rapid Support Force" led by General Mohammad Hamdan Dagalo have been embroiled in violent clashes. According to the Sudanese Medical Association, which tracks civilian casualties, the conflict has resulted in over 860 civilian deaths. The actual number of deaths may be much higher.

According to reports, since being appointed as a special envoy in 2021, Peltes has been Sudan's main mediator, first during the country's failed attempts to transition to democracy, and then as the relationship between the military and the "rapid support forces" deteriorated. The battle broke out last month.
According to reports, on the 8th, Peltes met with representatives from the African Union and the Intergovernmental Development Organization of the Group of Eight (G8) in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Neither the United Nations nor Perez immediately commented on this decision.
According to reports, in recent months, this German diplomat has received death threats and many calls for his resignation. In Burhan's letter last month, he accused Peltes of "favoritism" and made a negative contribution in the pre war negotiations held in the weeks leading up to the outbreak of the conflict.
