Sudan's al-Burhan warns countries supporting RSF |
2024-01-02 |
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Head of the Sovereign Council of Sudan![]() , has denounced the ongoing atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and urged nations harbouring their leader to cease interfering in Sudan’s affairs. In his Independence Day address, al-Burhan lamented the destruction wreaked by the militia under Mohammed Hamdan Daglo "Hemetti’s" command, describing their actions as "assassinating civilians, plundering their possessions, occupying their homes, violating their dignity, displacing them, and committing ethnic cleansing." He attributed these heinous acts to the support of "traitors to the people and power-hungry individuals" and certain foreign countries, that, he claimed, harbour ulterior motives despite Sudan’s suffering. "Therefore," al-Burhan asserted, "I urge nations harbouring these murderers to refrain from meddling in our affairs. Any hospitality extended to the leadership of this rebel group constitutes complicity in their crimes and collaboration in the killing and destruction of the Sudanese people. Moreover, hosting any party hostile to the state and its government is considered overt hostility, and the state has the right to take measures to safeguard its illusory sovereignty and security."
