Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, accompanied by Lieutenant General Mirghani Idris, Director General of the Defense Industries System, offered condolences on Saturday to the family of the late Lieutenant Colonel Muzammil Abdullah Mirghani Zarroug in Atbara, River Nile State. The officer was killed in the city of El Fasher.
Al-Burhan stated that the Armed Forces continue to sacrifice “battalions of martyrs” to preserve the nation’s unity, sovereignty, and security. He emphasized the vital role and sacrifices of the Armed Forces and supporting units in protecting the country.
He noted that the martyrdom of Lt. Col. Muzammil Abdullah in El Fasher carried profound significance, symbolizing the cohesion and unity of the Sudanese people. Al-Burhan reaffirmed that the Armed Forces remain the nation’s shield against its enemies.
He also extended condolences to local community leaders who were killed on Friday in the Mazroub area, stressing that the army does not target any tribe or region.
“Our mission is to confront the enemy, wherever it may be,” he said, adding that the army will continue to fight until the threat is eliminated.
Al-Burhan declared that there would be no negotiations with any party, whether it be the “Quartet” or others.
“We are ready to engage only in talks that serve Sudan’s interests, restore its dignity and unity, and end the war in a way that prevents any future rebellion,” he said.
He added that those genuinely seeking peace and prioritizing the interests of the Sudanese people are welcome.
“But any attempt to impose peace or a government on the people against their will shall not be accepted,” he said, vowing to continue along the path of peace in honor of the martyrs’ sacrifices
