SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Sudan revolutionaries urge reform of the armed forces

24/9/2021: Radio Dabanga - Sudan revolutionaries urge reform of the armed forces

Radio Dabanga report on the response by the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) to comments made by Sudan’s military leaders – Abdulfattah al-Burhan and Himedti – that civilians were to blame for the failed coup attempt.

The FFC considered the statements “a setback to the agenda of the revolution and the democratic transformation”, which contained “a load of fallacies and baseless accusations against the FFC”, which constitute “a direct threat to the democratic transition as they attempt to create a rift between the forces of the civil revolution and the armed forces of the people, and undermine the foundations on which the revolution was based”.

The FFC urged the acceleration of the reform of the military and security service, the removal of remnants [of the Al Bashir regime], and the implementation of the stipulations of the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement, in particular the implementation of the security arrangements protocol.
