Sudan's military hints at extended rule after 'victory'
[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. The country is currently enjoying a civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which used to be part of the army but then they got another ambitious general and you can guess the rest...
’s Assistant Military Commander, Lieutenant General Yasir al-Atta, suggested on Sunday the armed forces may lead the country for "several years" following a claimed military victory.

During an inspection of military operations in Omdurman, al-Atta stated, "After our imminent victory, we will enter a founding period without reliance on political parties." He emphasized the Sudanese people and "young popular resistance" would be the driving force.

His comments raise concerns about a potential extension of military rule. His statement echoes previous statements by military leaders rejecting any power-sharing with the pro-democracy forces during the post-war period.

Al-Atta further asserted, "We will establish a state based on national principles, not for those serving foreign interests or betraying the nation. Those who wronged Sudan will be held accountable."

The General visited operation centres alongside the Mobile Command, signifying military support for ongoing war efforts. He declared the operations are progressing as planned and victory is inevitable.

Al-Atta also criticized "evil countries and diaspora Arabs," potentially referencing the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Sudan accuses the UAE of supplying weapons, equipment, and funding to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group. These accusations have been formally presented to the UN Security Council, prompting a session scheduled for Monday.

The UAE has consistently denied these allegations, claiming a lack of evidence.
