25/4/2020: Sudan Tribune - Islamists behind attempts to destabilize Sudanese revolution: Burhan

 Sudan Tribune report that the head of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, Abdelfattah al-Burhan, said that the former ruling National Congress Party (NCP) is seeking to sow discord between the military and civilian components of the transitional authority.

 Al-Burhan further asserted arrangements are underway to arrest those who are involved in counter-revolutionary activities, with a meeting held with Sudan’s Attorney General to discuss ways to speed up the arrests of Islamists.

 He added that every time there is a rapprochement between the armed forces and the political "forces of the revolution", rumours emerge about a coup d’etat to destabilise security and stability. Al-Burhan also denied conflict with Sovereign Council deputy Himedti and Prime Minister Hamdok.
