Sudan army chief visits Khartoum headquarters, vows to defeat RSF paramilitary

Sudanese army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan visited its strategic headquarters in central Khartoum on Sunday in his first appearance there since government forces claimed to have broken a months-long siege by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Accompanied by senior military leaders, Burhan praised the "resilience and sacrifices" of soldiers who defended the army's General Command for 20 months, vowing to "eradicate" the RSF and pursue its fighters "in every corner of Sudan."

He also hailed the army's continued operations elsewhere in the country, including in Omdurman, Bahri, and El Fasher, where fierce clashes have been reported in recent days.

The General Command in Khartoum had been under siege since the conflict erupted in April 2023.

The army announced on Friday it had successfully lifted the RSF blockade and restored control over parts of the city, signaling a potential turning point in the nearly two-year war.

The RSF has denied the army's claims as "propaganda" aimed at boosting morale.

Also on Friday, an advisor to the head of the RSF announced his resignation, saying the paramilitary was targeting civilians in its operations.
