He emphasized that Sudanese forces will not relinquish any territory to the Rapid Support Forces. The general also spoke about the continuation of military operations across various fronts, as troops strive to reclaim areas currently held by the Rapid Support Forces.\n\nIn addition to these efforts, Al-Atta stressed the necessity of securing central Sudan from what he described as hidden threats and conspiracies. He affirmed that military operations will persist across all fronts to fulfill the army's objectives.",
