Burhan Slams Attempts to Incite against Sudanese Army
Arab World
Khartoum - Mohammed Amin Yassin
Head of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereign Council Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan warned against attempts to break up the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), pledging to raise his country’s flag in “the occupied territories” on the disputed borders with Egypt and Ethiopia. He accused unnamed parties of working on “kidnapping” the revolution from Sudan’s youth. “The armed forces are with the people not against them. It will not let them down and will not allow any party to exploit it for its own interests.” He also slammed the civilian-led executive authority, in light of its demands to take over army-run companies. According to Burhan, the affiliation of more than 421 companies to entities that are not associated with the Finance Ministry is one of the divisive issues among members of the civil and military transitional government. Addressing officers from various military units in Omdurman on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the founding of the SAF, Burhan said that since the formation of the transitional government, the military has requested the executive authority to benefit from these companies’ funds, but no decisions have been taken in this regard. He held the executive body accountable for this economic failure and accused it of incitement against the military. “No one has the right to hold the army responsible for their failures,” he stressed. He blamed Abdalla Hamdok’s government and the opposition Forces of the Declaration for Freedom and Change for the deteriorating economic conditions in the country. Burhan further accused them of “neglecting to address the main issues and bickering, instead, over power and posts.” “We asked them to take over the companies but still didn’t receive any response.”
