Key details of the dossier
According to exclusive information obtained by Al Mayadeen, the Sudanese delegation included General Ahmed Ibrahim Mufaddal, Director of the General Intelligence Service; Ambassador Omar Siddiq, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and Major General Adel Sabdarat, Chief of Staff at the Sovereignty Council.
The Sudan security dossier reportedly outlines how certain airports were opened to facilitate arms transfers and aid deliveries to the militia. It also details the recruitment of tens of thousands of mercenaries from across Africa and beyond, many of whom fought alongside the RSF and committed documented war crimes against unarmed civilians.
Additionally, the file highlights hundreds of cargo flights that landed in African airports carrying advanced weapons, medical supplies, and food aid for the militia forces.
Calls to disband the RSF
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan emphasized during the meeting that the conflict in Sudan represents a coordinated regional aggression aimed at fragmenting the country. He affirmed that Sudan’s official armed forces, alongside popular resistance movements, remain unified in confronting this threat.
He called for the disbanding of the Rapid Support Forces, the demobilization of its fighters, and the prosecution of its leaders for crimes committed during the conflict.
US delegation reacts
Simultaneously, Al Mayadeen's sources noted that the US delegation, which included senior US intelligence security figures, expressed appreciation for Khartoum’s past cooperation with Washington in several critical areas.
The discussion touched on joint efforts to combat international and regional terrorism, human trafficking, irregular migration, smuggling, drug trafficking, and violent extremism. The delegation also acknowledged Sudan’s strategic role in ensuring stability across the Horn of Africa and East Africa and underlined the importance of reviving full security cooperation between the US and Sudan.
