CAIRO (AP) — The head of Sudan’s army has made a rare public speech in his first tour outside of the capital since the conflict erupted in mid-April. In the eastern coastal city of Port Sudan, Burhan said Tuesday a large military operation enabled him to leave the capital’s army headquarters.

Burhan said no agreement had been reached with the RSF or any other group to facilitate his departure. He said two people were killed in the military operation.
