On Sunday, the commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, “Hemedti”, put forward an initiative for a solution in Sudan, at a time when battles continued, coinciding with the arrival of army commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to Port Sudan. Hemedti’s initiative provided for civilian democratic rule and a single army as the basis for resolving the crisis in the country, based on fair and free elections at all levels of government.
He pointed out that the federal system is the most appropriate to govern Sudan, calling for the need to recognize the need to establish and build a new Sudanese army.
He also urged the involvement of the widest possible political and social base of political parties and civil society organizations from all regions of Sudan in power, noting that all armed struggle movements must participate in any political solution.
He stressed “the need to start the transitional phase, democratic transition and holding elections,” stressing that achieving peace in Sudan requires stopping state violence against citizens. The search for a long-term ceasefire agreement must be accompanied by the principles of a comprehensive political solution that addresses the root causes of Sudan’s wars.
At the same time, the head of the Sovereignty Council, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, arrived in Port Sudan, the capital of the Red Sea state, the seat of the Sudanese government since the outbreak of the war in mid-April.
Burhan is expected to meet with the government-designate for the first time more than four months after the situation in the country exploded. While the Sudanese Professionals Association warned of moves by groups affiliated with the regime of former President Omar al-Bashir, it said they were aimed at widening the war. He expressed deep concern about “the efforts of the elements of the former regime infiltrating the security and military agencies to expand the circle of war and transfer it to the relatively safe states, which have become a haven for displaced people from the hell of the war raging since April 15.”
On the ground, a military source said the Sudanese army bombed the Raped support forces at Khartoum airport and other areas in the capital’s three cities, while other military sources reported that the army repelled an RSF attack on an oil field in West Kordofan.
Anadolu Agency quoted a military source as saying that army forces massively attacked with heavy and light weapons the Rapid Support Forces stationed inside Khartoum airport.
