Sudan army chief to lead operations from Omdurman
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan will relocate his headquarters to Omdurman to personally lead military operations, a senior army officer said on Tuesday, days before planned peace talks with rival paramilitary forces.

Al-Burhan has been based in the eastern city of Port Sudan since leaving the army headquarters in Khartoum last August amidst fighting with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Assistant army commander Yasir al-Atta told soldiers in Omdurman that al-Burhan had requested a headquarters be prepared for him there, and that it had been equipped. He added that army leaders, including al-Burhan, have no desire to rule the country but are determined to fight the RSF.

, and the UAE participating as observers.

Al-Atta also reiterated accusations that the Forces for Freedom and Change, a civilian political coalition, had instigated the conflict by encouraging the RSF to seize power. But the coalition denies the allegation.
