In addition, the Army is used by the (Islamists) as a thick staff to bring the Sudanese people to their knees.

Al-Sisi’s government rejects the Brotherhood in Egypt and supports them in Sudan because it wishes for Sudan to become its backyard. As we seek to establish good neighborly relations and have no objection to dealing with Egypt – provided that it refrains from playing negative roles).

While the Rapid Support Forces is working with the international community to facilitate humanitarian access. We have sought to open border crossings to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid, however the Army continues to insist on starving the Sudanese people).

Al-Mukhtar addressed the recurring airstrikes on civilians, sharing that: (The Sudanese Army’s warplanes claimed the lives of (2,873) citizens, destroyed (4,321) homes during October and the current month of November. In addition, Al-Burhan’s militia warplanes launched airstrikes that left (2928) wounded, using internationally banned and toxic bombs).

He continued: (Our forces dealt with the events east of Al-Jazeera in a professional manner to thwart the SAF Military Intelligence’s plot with Keikal’s assistance. The plot is to onset the most extensive violations east of Al-Jazeera by arming civilians).

He also criticized the Strange Faces Law in the areas controlled by the Army, stating that it targeted the citizens of Darfur, the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile. and added: (The situation is stable at the moment in Al-Hilaliya. As we call on the United Nations agencies to conduct a swift intervention in the region.
