The head of Sudan’s army has made a rare public speech in his first tour outside of the capital since the conflict erupted in mid-April
The head of Sudan’s army made a rare public speech Monday in his first tour outside of the capital since the conflict with a rival general erupted in mid-April.
In the eastern coastal city of Port Sudan, Burhan said a military operation that included naval and air forces enabled him to leave the capital’s army headquarters safely. Two people were killed in the operation, he said.The conflict has reduced the capital to an urban battlefield, with the RSF controlling vast swaths of the city. The military command, where Burhan has purportedly been stationed since April, has been one of the epicenters of the conflict, besieged by RSF forces.
The violence in the northeast African country is estimated to have killed at least 4,000 people, according to Liz Throssell, a spokesperson for the U.N. human rights office. However, activists and doctors on the ground say the death toll is likely far higher. The 10-point plan titled “Sudan Reborn,” calls for a lasting cease-fire, democratic elections and a unified army.
