Sudan Events – Reports
The Minister of Interior, retired Police Major General Khalil Basha Sayreen, arrived in Khartoum State on Thursday, heading a delegation of police leaders.
He was received by the Khartoum State Governor, Ahmed Osman Hamza, and the state’s police leaders.
The minister said the visit came with a convoy carrying supplies and blankets to support the police and security forces participating in the dignity battle in Khartoum State, alongside efforts to support the work of tikkas (Sufi kitchens). The visit also aimed to inspect the conditions of the regular forces.
During a joint meeting with Khartoum State’s government and the Security Coordination Committee, the minister affirmed the Interior Ministry’s commitment to coordination and cooperation between agencies, expressing their readiness to support the security plan for securing Khartoum, combating crime, and ensuring widespread police deployment in liberated areas. He noted the important role of community policing in involving citizens in securing neighborhoods, pledging support for these efforts to be the foundation for Khartoum’s security plan.
Regarding the presence of foreigners, the minister emphasized that international laws regulate the status of refugees, and that any foreigner who collaborates with the militia loses their refugee status and will be dealt with according to the law, in a manner that preserves the sovereignty of the homeland.
For his part, the Khartoum State Governor noted that thanks to recent victories, there has been an expansion of safe areas in Omdurman and Bahri, and Bahri’s local authorities have resumed activities, sending food and medical convoys, reopening health centers, and resuming the work of the police. Bahri’s Security Committee has begun holding meetings to ensure the safety of residential neighborhoods. This expansion, he said, means Khartoum State must be supported to provide essential services, remove the war’s debris, assist with citizens’ return, and restore prisons to complete the justice system, while supporting efforts to expel violating foreigners.
