The head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council in Sudan, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, called on the political forces in the country to sit down at the negotiating table and together without any conditions to end the current political crisis, stressing that the army is not on the side of any particular party or party. “We have asked the political parties to sit down at the negotiating table,” Al-Burhan said during a speech at a military base north of the capital Khartoum on Sunday.
He added: “Not every party or party has to take the initiative and want everyone to follow. Everyone should sit down and start negotiations without any conditions.”
“We want to expand the circle of participation to resolve the crisis in Sudan, but any party that wants to work alone will not resonate with the armed forces,” he added.
Al-Burhan confirmed in his speech: “The army will not take the side of any particular party or party. The armed forces and the regular forces are a red line that cannot be touched”, stressing that “the armed forces will stand at equal distance from all without joining any party, and to support the steps of democratic reforms.”
He also stressed “the firm position of the armed forces in matters of stability and security of the country in the light of current challenges”, pointing to “the desire to distance the military institution from the field of political struggle.”
He emphasized that the armed forces are patriotic national forces that protect the country and its citizens, and are not affiliated with any party, party or group, nor with the National Party, nor with the Islamic Movement, nor with the Communist Party, nor with any another.
And for those who accused the army of loyalty to a certain party, it was emphasized that the armed forces belong only to the Motherland.
He addressed the Islamic movement with the words: “Hands off the army.”
Earlier, he indicated that the Sudanese army will remain loyal to the people and in all cases will support their national choice, recalling the state of affairs in Sudan.
