General Kabashi saluted the artillery commanders, officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers, for the great effort they continued to provide, heralding the approaching victory.
His Excellency stressed that the armed forces are not only fighting what is called rapid support, but they are fighting countries that covet the nation's resources, change and obliterate identity.
The Deputy Commander-in-Chief pointed out that what Sudan is exposed to is a foreign invasion with the participation of many countries and agents at home and abroad, and that the terrorist rebel Rapid Support militia is merely a tool for enforcing the foreign plan that aims to divide the country and eliminate the armed forces as they are the safety valve for Sudan and its people.
General Kabashi explained that the current battle is a battle for survival and a battle for the homeland, praising the Sudanese people's rally around the armed forces and their drive to engage in the People's Armed Resistance, forming a national picture that astonished the world and served as a practical response to the despicable plan and conspiracy.
His Excellency appreciated the participation of all regular forces and mobilized personnel in the Battle of Dignity in order to preserve national values.
In addition, His Excellency inspected the wounded during operations at the military hospital and reviewed the progress of work at the new military hospital in Atbara, wishing a speedy recovery for the wounded and injured. BH/BH
