War between the army and the RSF broke out in mid-April over plans for a political transition and the integration of the RSF into the army, four years after long-time ruler Omar al-Bashir was overthrown in a popular uprising.
Burhan has made a series of foreign visits in recent weeks after remaining in Sudan for the first months of the war.
The purpose was to seek solutions, not military support, though he had asked other states to block external backing that he asserts the RSF is receiving, he said.
The RSF has denied it is behind the violence in Darfur, and will hold its men accountable for abuses.
Burhan said he told the governor to seek protection at a military camp, but the governor had rejected that.
