Sudan’s Burhan warns Bashir loyalists against interfering in army’s affairs
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AA) – The head of Sudan’s ruling Sovereign Military Council, Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, has warned loyalists of former President Omar al-Bashir against interfering in the army’s affairs.
“The military institution does not support any faction or party,” Al-Burhan said in a speech aired by state television.
“Stay away from the armed forces,” he said in a stern warning to al-Bashir’s National Congress Party (NCP) and the Islamist Movement.
Al-Burhan stressed that the army will not allow the NCP or Islamists to return to power.
There was no comment from the NCP on al-Burhan’s speech.
Al-Bashir, who ruled Sudan for three decades, was removed from power by the military in April 2019 following mass protests against deteriorating economic conditions in the country.
