The Sudanese army will defeat Rapid Support Forces (RSF) rebels and ensure the security of national borders, Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council chairman and armed forces commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said.
"We are determined to crush this enemy [the RSF] and secure Sudan's borders," al-Burhan said during a meeting with Sudanese troops.
The Sudanese army would avenge those killed in El-Fasher, Al Junaynah, Al Jazirah and other cities attacked by the rebels, he added.
The death toll in El-Fasher rose to 2,200 after the city fell under RSF control in late October, a Sudanese official said earlier.
