On Wednesday, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the commander-in-chief of the Sudanese army and head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, announced that the Sudanese armed forces had freed Khartoum from the rebel units of the Rapid Support Forces.
Regaining Khartoum is vital for the country as "the symbol of our sovereignty," Sudanese Ambassador to Russia Mohammed Elghazali Eltigani Sirrag told Sputnik Africa, adding that it marks a new era for peace, with the army and people determined to crush the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia once and for all.
When asked about the RSF's future, the ambassador said he saw none, citing their lack of a legitimate plan and the fact that civilians didn't feel safe with them. He concluded their only option was surrender, having no future political or economic role in the nation.
Regarding peace and lingering tensions, Sirrag stated it required unity, seeing the newfound determination to defeat the militia as paving the way for lasting peace and the national rebuilding without the RSF.
