During a visit to the SAF's General Command headquarters in Khartoum, which has recently been liberated from a 21-month blockade enforced by the RSF, Al-Burhan made these remarks, as reported by a statement from the sovereign council, according to Xinhua news agency.
Al-Burhan expressed to a gathering of soldiers, "This battle is nearing its end, and we will eradicate the rebellion. Our promise to the Sudanese populace is to combat these criminals until we achieve victory."
He asserted, "The armed forces possess the capability and resilience. They cannot be vanquished, and their history is a testament to this fact."
On Friday, the Sudanese army confirmed that it had lifted the blockade of its General Command headquarters, which had been ongoing since the conflict erupted in April 2023.
Located in central Khartoum, the General Command consists of five primary buildings, including the Army Headquarters, Navy Command, Air Force Headquarters, Military Intelligence, and the Ministry of Defense.
Since mid-April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a catastrophic conflict between the SAF and the RSF, resulting in at least 28,000 fatalities and displacing over 15 million individuals, both domestically and internationally, based on the latest assessments from global organizations.
