16/2/2023: Sudan Tribune - Sudanese army supports framework agreement because it leads to RSF’s integration: Burhan

Sudan Tribune report that Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese army, stated that the integration of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) into the army is the main reason for the army’s support of the framework agreement.

He stressed that the army would not accept the political framework agreement if this clause is not implemented. 

Al-Burhan statements come after reports about the army’s frustration with the RSF’s commercial and mining activities and close cooperation with the Russian Wagner contractors deployed in the Central African Republic (CAR).
