Al-Burhan: Restoring Order in Khartoum and Advancing Toward Full Liberation of Sudan
From the headquarters of Sudan’s Ministry of Interior, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan addressed the Sudanese people with a speech that captured both the spirit of sacrifice and the challenges ahead. His message, delivered with solemnity and determination, was directed not only to the military and police but to all Sudanese invested in rebuilding their country.
Al-Burhan began by honoring the martyrs of Sudan—those who gave their lives for the nation’s sovereignty—and offered a special salute to the police forces, recognizing their role in protecting the country’s resources and citizens, and in helping restore order in cities affected by conflict. He described them as essential partners in what he called “the Battle of Dignity”—a comprehensive national struggle that extends far beyond military operations.
He emphasized that this battle is not just about defeating a rebellion, but also about restoring public services, securing homes, and bringing life back to displaced families across the country. The liberation of Khartoum, he noted, was not symbolic—it was a grueling campaign, fought street by street, where thousands gave their lives to expel the insurgents. The current destruction visible in the capital, he explained, is a direct result of those fierce confrontations.
But Al-Burhan made it clear that the battle for Khartoum is only the beginning. To ensure lasting peace, he laid out a clear stance: security must come before services. Without stability, he stressed, displaced residents cannot return, nor can institutions resume their work. For this reason, strict measures are now being reinforced: banning armed individuals from roaming the streets, seizing unmarked vehicles, and requiring all movements by armed personnel to be fully documented and authorized.
He reassured civil authorities that the newly established committee under General Ibrahim Jaber is strictly for coordination—not interference—and affirmed that the Sovereignty Council will not intrude in executive work. This, he said, is essential to rally the full support of the Sudanese people and reassure international partners.
Toward the end of his speech, Al-Burhan returned to the broader picture: the struggle continues in El Fasher, El Geneina, Kadugli, and beyond. He insisted that even if these battles go unseen by the public, the army is present and fighting daily to defend Sudanese land and civilians.
His words concluded with a firm vow: the battle will not end until every inch of Sudan is liberated, or until the insurgents lay down their weapons and lift their sieges on towns and villages. Until then, the mission remains clear—restoring dignity, order, and national unity across all of Sudan.
