The United States is withholding a visa for Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ahead of his scheduled appearance at the United Nations. The decision has drawn attention given al-Burhan’s role as the de facto leader of Sudan.
US Denies Visa to Sudan’s Al-Burhan for UN Appearance

Finally, the US is taking a hard stance on the humanitarian crisis. Al-Burhan should face consequences, not get a platform.
