The head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council in Sudan, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, said on Friday that the goal of his country’s army is to completely eliminate the Rapid Support Forces, days after he announced general mobilization in the armed forces.
This came in a speech by Al-Burhan, who commands the army, during his visit to the city of Al-Qatina, in the White Nile State, south of Khartoum.
Al-Burhan said that the army seeks one goal, which is to eliminate the Rapid Support militia.
In a statement to the council, Al-Burhan stressed the armed forces’ determination to “totally eradicate the rebel militia and cleanse every inch of the homeland.”
Recently, Al-Burhan has been visiting several areas to review the latest field developments. Last Wednesday, he visited areas in the city of Omdurman, west of the capital, Khartoum, and last Friday he visited the village of Al-Sariha in Al-Jazeera State (central), according to the Sudanese News Agency.
A few days ago, Al-Burhan renewed his rejection of any truce or peace with the Rapid Support unless it gave up its weapons, and he announced general mobilization in the armed forces, calling on all Sudanese who are able to bear arms to come forward and participate in the fighting.
Kill children
On the other hand, the Sudan Doctors Network said that at least 23 children died during the past 30 days in the cities of Dilling and Kadugli in South Kordofan state.
The network added that acute malnutrition and the lack of basic supplies as a result of the siege imposed on the two cities are killing children and threatening the lives of thousands of civilians.
The network condemned the continued siege on the areas of South Kordofan, stressing that it is a clear violation of international humanitarian law and the rights of children to survival and protection.
The United Nations and humanitarian organizations called for urgent action to open safe corridors and provide relief without delay.
Out of 18 states throughout Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces currently control all five states of the Darfur region in the west, except for some northern parts of North Darfur state that are still in the control of the army, which controls most of the regions of the remaining 13 states in the south, north, east and center, including the capital, Khartoum.
The human suffering in Sudan is exacerbated by the continuation of a bloody war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, which has led to the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of about 13 million people.
