Sudan’s army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan rules out reconciliation with paramilitary forces

KHARTOUM: Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan has ruled out reconciliation with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and vowed to continue fighting.

“There is no reconciliation or agreement with the rebels. We will fight until the militia ends, or we end,” Al-Burhan said in a video speech posted by the sovereign council on its Telegram account late Friday. “Our battle continues until every site in Sudan is restored,” said the SAF commander. Al-Burhan welcomed the “Sudanese Popular Resistance” campaign. “We welcome the popular resistance, and we will arm them, but the weapons must be legalised and registered by the armed forces,” he said. He however, criticized the recently signed declaration between the RSF and Coordination of Civilian Democratic Forces (Taqaddum), a political coalition led by former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
