The President of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council and Army Commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, denied the validity of the reports circulating regarding a settlement or negotiation with the Rapid Support Forces, and affirmed the army’s determination to move forward in eliminating what he described as “rebellion.”
In a post on the Sovereignty Council’s Facebook page, Al-Burhan said during the “Conference on Women’s Issues in Eastern Sudan,” which began in Port Sudan, yesterday, Monday, that talk about calling for a conference of political forces is incorrect.
He stressed that there is no settlement with any political party, indicating that what is rumored in this regard is completely untrue.
He added that the armed forces and other regular forces and those he described as Mustafarin are moving forward with all determination and determination to eliminate the rebellion and eradicate the “criminal terrorist Al-Dagalo militia,” as he put it.
Al-Burhan said, “The door to repentance and returning to the truth is open to everyone who lays down arms and inclines to peace.”
Al-Burhan’s statements come a few days after the Sudanese army announced that it had regained control of the headquarters of the 17th Division in the city of Sinja, the capital of Sennar State in central Sudan, after fierce battles with the Rapid Support that the city witnessed.
“Singa” is the first state capital that the Sudanese army can regain from the control of the Rapid Support Forces, since the outbreak of the war that Sudan has been witnessing since April 15 of last year, and the army’s control over it is considered a strategic achievement because it is located on a main axis linking areas controlled by the army in the east. Sudan and its centre.
The war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces caused the deaths of thousands and the displacement of more than 11 million people, including 3.1 million who were displaced outside the country, according to the International Organization for Migration.
