The statement noted that Al-Burhan, out of his keenness, in his capacity as President of the Transitional Sovereign Council and Commander of the Armed Forces, to end the suffering of the Sudanese caused by the militia rebellion, had formally expressed his approval for the IGAD presidency to hold the meeting, and was preparing to leave for Djibouti this Wednesday evening, had he not received IGAD postponement notice.
