In a significant announcement, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the leader of Sudan’s transitional ruling council, declared that the country’s military would be placed under the leadership of the civilian government. This announcement comes as a major development in Sudan’s transitional period after the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
General Fattah, who also heads Sudan’s military, made the announcement during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok. The move is part of the transitional government’s efforts to establish a democratic system and restore stability in the country.
In his address, General Fattah stated that the military would work closely with the civilian government to ensure a peaceful transition to democracy. He also pledged to support the ongoing peace talks with rebel groups in Sudan, as well as efforts to rebuild the country’s economy.
The announcement was met with widespread support from Sudanese citizens, who have been demanding a civilian-led government since the overthrow of al-Bashir. The move is also likely to be welcomed by the international community, which has been closely monitoring Sudan’s transition to democracy.
The decision to place the military under civilian leadership marks a significant step towards achieving the goals of the Sudanese revolution. It is a crucial development that could help Sudan move towards a brighter future, with greater stability and democratic freedoms for all its citizens.
As Sudan continues on its path towards democracy, the world will be watching closely, hoping for a successful transition that can serve as a model for other countries in the region facing similar challenges. The hope is that this historic move will be the first of many steps towards building a new Sudan, where the rule of law, freedom of expression, and respect for human rights are firmly entrenched.
