Sudan Events – Reports
Vice Chairman of the Sovereign Council, Malik Aqar, stated that the government had carefully studied all initiatives proposed by internal, regional, and international parties. He added, “These initiatives varied in their final goals, some aimed at dividing Sudan, others at reintegrating the militia into public life, and some lacked implementation mechanisms.”
He continued, “I assure you that we will not compromise or accept any initiative that undermines Sudan’s sovereignty and threatens its national security, and we will not accept any initiative aimed at reopening the space for the militia in the lives of Sudanese people.”
He confirmed that the country faced schemes by some leaders and certain narrow-minded individuals who deviated from the path of the revolution and sold themselves to foreign agendas, but the will of the people was stronger.
In his speech on the occasion of the New Year, Aqar stated that those involved, whether secretly or publicly, in shedding Sudanese blood and those who actively participated in the battles or acted as informers or collaborators with the militia—those who call for their return—should be treated the same as rebel leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, with no distinction between a killer and another.
He noted that despite the brutality of this war and the militia’s violations of engagement rules, the relevant institutions and agencies had carefully monitored, documented, and collected all of the Rapid Support Forces’ violations. He assured that justice would be served for anyone who committed a crime. Moreover, the war united the patriotic Sudanese citizens towards a single goal and rekindled hope for building real national unity, based on justice, equality, and citizenship without discrimination. He added that “this cohesion is practically the right path for building the new Sudan that all Sudanese dream of.”
He also mentioned that those working on dividing Sudan, especially as there is already a plan prepared to fragment Sudan along regional and territorial lines, are supported by a group of humanitarian organizations, backed by countries with interests in Sudan’s partition, who are currently operating under the guise of humanitarian services or protecting civilians.
