SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - Sudan must unite armed forces during political crisis – opposition leader
Reuters reports that the Umma Party’s leader Sadiq Al Mahdi said Sudan must at all costs avoid tensions between a powerful paramilitary unit that controls Khartoum and the regular army or risk more instability.
“All our political forces are going to have their minds concentrated on the need to avoid this civil war and all types of conflicts that are potentially there,” Al Mahdi told Reuters.
Al Mahdi also called on Himedti to fully integrate the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) which he commands with the regular army to promote unity within the armed forces.
“The fact that there are tensions between our armed groups must be resolved peacefully. Either people fight it out…or they accept a reconciliation process.” Al Mahdi said
