Khartoum, Feb 4, 2026 (SUNA) -- Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Shams-Eddin Kabashi, praised the steadfastness of the Sudanese people and their courageous patience in the "Battle of Dignity," characterizing the current suffering and displacement as a temporary departure imposed by the circumstances of war.
During a visit to displaced families from Darfur and Kordofan in Karari locality, Kabashi gave assurances that their return to their home areas was approaching. He said the state has placed voluntary return to secured and cleared areas at the top of its priorities, stressing that reconstruction efforts would begin immediately once security is restored.
"Our appointment with you is in Kordofan and Darfur," Kabashi said. "We will spare no effort to return you to your homes."
Kabashi said the victories achieved in Kadugli form part of a series of successive successes by the armed forces and supporting forces, adding that military advances will continue until the entire national territory is fully cleared of what he described as the stain of rebellion.
