Al-Burhan: We propose restoring Sudan's old flag, raised by our forefathers at independence
- President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, affirmed that any solution or initiative that does not dismantle the terrorist Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and strip it of its weapons is entirely unacceptable to us," underscoring that "this is a deeply rooted conviction."
Speaking at a memorial ceremony for the martyrs of the Sudan Liberation Movement Army (SLMA), he stated that options have narrowed and solutions have become limited due to the scale of bloodshed, the rising number of martyrs, and the widespread suffering across large areas of Sudan -- particularly in Darfur and El-Fashir.
The TSC President reiterated that there is only one solution: the disappearance of the militia. Al-Burhan vowed retribution against the criminals, killers, and those he described as "the malicious," who committed atrocities that, he stressed, forfeit their right to continue living among us in Sudan.
