Al-Burhan of Sudan says the military has abandoned politics after the 2023 | War Stories

The prime minister has said that Sudanese military will not take part in political elections after the 2023 general election.

Sudanese army chief says troops have left politics after elections expected to take place in 2023.

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan provided this confirmation in one of a series of questions he presented to the media on Saturday.

The general led the army in late October, advancing the transition from Sudan to civilian-led democracy, but the agreement reached on November 21 has arrived. restored Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok will lead the cabinet until the July 2023 elections.

“Once a government is elected, I do not think that the military, the military, or any other security forces will be involved in politics. That is what we have agreed on and this is how it is, “al-Burhan told Reuters.

The insurgency, which severed ties with political parties following the ouster of longtime ruler Omar al-Bashir, has provoked international outrage and protests.

Neighboring committees and political parties have called on the military to immediately withdraw from politics and do so. rejection any disagreements, including alliances with Hamdok. At least 44 people died during the protests, most of them from gunshot wounds and security guards, according to paramedics.

“Investigations into those involved in the protests have begun to identify the perpetrators … and to punish the terrorists,” al-Burhan said, adding that security forces had only dispersed the peaceful protests.

Al-Bashir has been in prison since his dismissal from corruption and other crimes. Along with several other suspected Sudanese, he is also wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the alleged war crimes in Darfur.

The civilian government, which was dismantled by the uprising, approved al-Bashir’s offer, but the military did not.

“We are in agreement with the International Criminal Court on its appearance [of suspects] “We have been discussing with the court how we can do good to those affected.”

Following the assassination, several government officials were fired or relocated and aligned by al-Bashir’s military forces in the elections that Hamdok demanded. change.

Al-Burhan said on Saturday that al-Bashir’s ruling party would not take part in the change.

“We will work together to ensure that the National Congress does not become a part of change in any way,” he said.

Sudan is in the throes of an economic crisis, although much of the world’s financial aid began to be felt before the suspension of the takeover.

Al-Burhan said he hoped the aid would return to the local government once it was established, indicating that the country would not change the reforms made two years ago by reimbursing grants or returning to printing.

“People of all races, including the African Union, are seeing what will happen in the coming days,” he told AFP.

“I believe there are signs of a recurrence [to how they were] soon. The establishment of a civilian government would restore order. ”

Although Western countries and the African Union have spoken out against the coup, Russia says Russia, which seeks to establish Sudan’s Red Sea base, has forged closer ties with military leaders.

The base deal has not been finalized, al-Burhan told Reuters.

“We hope our relationship [with Russia] he will strengthen and sign the agreement, ”he said. “Negotiations are ongoing and we are working on this agreement until it is finalized and approved.”
