Sudanese army is a national institution, not tied to any group, says Burhan

Sudan’s Chairman of the Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has affirmed that the country's army serves the national interest, not any specific tribe or faction. In a recent statement, Burhan firmly rejected the notion of a partial peace deal, emphasizing that the army remains dedicated to completing the "cleansing of the country from terrorist militias."

According to reports by Al Arabiya, Burhan left the door open for discussions regarding the fate of fighters, suggesting that those not implicated in criminal activities could potentially be integrated into the regular armed forces. The Sudanese leader urged all citizens to return to their homeland, while expressing his willingness to engage in any viable peace initiative.

However, Burhan made it clear that he would not acquiesce to a "partial peace" arrangement that would permit the Rapid Support Forces, commanded by General Hemeti, and their adherents to regain control of the nation. This stance comes as the Sudanese army has gained significant ground in recent months, capturing control of central, eastern, and northern territories.

The army's recent advances have pushed the Rapid Support Forces westward, enabling the capture of the vital highway connecting Omdurman and El-Obeid, the largest city in Sudan's Kordofan region. The Rapid Support Forces had been attempting to encircle this crucial route for several months.
