The head of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council and commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has pledged to defeat the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), dismissing any possibility of reconciliation.
Speaking during a military celebration at the Old Merowe site, according to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency, al-Burhan said the armed forces “will continue fighting no matter the cost and will not betray the sacrifices of those killed in the conflict.”
He praised the resilience of troops stationed in key cities such as al-Fashir, Babnousa, and Kadugli, stating that they “continue to defend the country on all fronts.”
Al-Burhan described the war in Sudan as “a regional aggression aimed at dividing the country,” emphasizing that the Sudanese state, its regular forces, and popular resistance movements are united in thwarting the plan. He called for the disbandment of the militia, the disarmament of its fighters, and the prosecution of its leaders.
Sudan submits file exposing support for RSF
Al-Burhan submitted Thursday a detailed security dossier accusing eight regional and international capitals of supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as per Al Mayadeen's sources.
The dossier, presented during a high-level security meeting in Zurich, details that these capitals provided the militia with weapons, funding, and training.
The talks were held with Masad Boulos, Senior Advisor to the US President on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs.
