Burhan calls on Sudanese youth to join the army
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan’s Chairman of the Sovereign Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has called on the country’s youth to join the army and defend their nation against internal and external conspiracies.

In a speech on the occasion of Eid al-Adha
...a major Moslem holiday, marked by animal sacrifice and ritual rioting...
, al-Burhan accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Commander, Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, of rebelling against the state and recruiting mercenaries for personal gain.

He emphasized the need for vigilance and preparedness to confront the existential threats faced by Sudan.

"Therefore, we ask all the youth of my country and all those who are capable of defending themselves not to hesitate or delay in fulfilling this national duty in their respective communities or by joining the military units. By doing so, they will gain the honour of safeguarding the survival of the Sudanese state, which has been targeted by internal and external conspiracies."

This is the first time al-Burhan has cited conspiracies against Sudan several times.

The Sudanese military often hinted at the involvement of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is accused of supporting the paramilitary forces’ leader, who controls several gold mines in the country.

Sudan’s political parties have called for an end to the war and negotiations to integrate the RSF ahead of an inclusive political conference. For their part, the gangs in Darfur that have signed a peace deal have declared their neutrality.

The SPLM-N, led by Malik Agar, is now fighting alongside the army after its full integration. In contrast, the SPLM-N led by Abdel Aziz al-Hilu in the Nuba Mountains and the Blue Nile has recently launched attacks against the Sudanese army, speaking about its failure to protect civilians.

#1 Burhan would like to see more Nile River Arabs in his army. Traditionally, the Arab military leaders were content to fill the ranks with minorities that could then be used as cannon fodder.
