Situation in Sudan ‘catastrophic’, says Transitional Sovereignty Council official
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AA): The deputy leader of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council has termed the situation in the country “catastrophic”.
Sudan has been ravaged by clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since mid-April.
“The situation in Sudan now is catastrophic,” Malik Agar said during a discussion at the Cairo-based Egyptian Center for Strategic Studies on Saturday.
“There is total destruction in Khartoum and the RSF are occupying residential neighborhoods,” he added.
Agar warned that Sudan’s collapse “means a complete collapse of the Horn of Africa.”
“The war must end with the army’s victory. The war must end with the support of the army but on condition that Sudan has only one army to defend it,” he added.
The Sudanese official accused the RSF of taking civilians as human shields. “They are treating the country as if it were a private property,” he added.
“We are confident that the army will win this war,” Agar stressed.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that more than 2.2 million people have been displaced by the current conflict in Sudan.
