Sudan: Burhan downplays fall of army strongholds to RSF

Army Chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, downplayed Nyala Division 16 and Zalinji Division 21, Darfur, fall to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), saying military solution remains the sole option if RSF rejects peaceful settlement.

The army chief, Chairperson of the coup Sovereign Council, arrived at Wadi Sayedna military base, north Omdurman, Tuesday night in a surprise visit.

Al-Burhan told troops in the base that “we went to the Jeddah talks in accordance with the previous agreement that the RSF should withdraw from the civilians’ homes, government and services facilities.”

He added “if the rebels reject peaceful resolution then the only option will be military.”

Al-Burhan belittled the fall of some of the army’s positions in the hands of his foes. He stressed the army would defend Khartoum, Darfur and every part of the country to the last soldier standing.

Al-Burhan accused political parties and politicians, without naming them, of being mercenaries, supporting the RSF and implementing agendas of other countries with vested interests to dismantle the Sudan.
