SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - Sudan's military criticizes civilian politicians after coup attempt
Reuters report that Sudan’s military leaders - Sovereign Council Chairman and commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Abdulfattah al-Burhan, and his deputy, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander Himedti - both accused civilian politicians of opening the door to the coup attempt by neglecting public welfare while they were consumed by internal squabbles.
Both said that civilians were pre-occupied with fighting over power positions, with al-Burhan saying that “no political party [seeks to] address citizen’s problems” and Himedti accusing civilian politicians of creating opportunities for repeated coups because they failed to address public concerns.
With political parties calling on citizens to reject military rule, al-Burhan responded: “[the military] are protecting [the revolution] from the [civilians who want to steal it]”.
Himedti said: "the military is met with humiliation and insults day and night, so how can there not be coups”.
