Khartoum: Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) and Chairman of the High Committee for Preparing the Environment for the Return of Citizens to Khartoum State, Lt. Gen. Engineer Ibrahim Jabir, has called on the citizens to return to their homes. He acknowledged the efforts of the Sudanese people and the participating forces in the Battle of Dignity during a press conference held by the committee.
According to Sudan News Agency, Jabir outlined the committee’s dual focus on maintaining security and providing essential services. The Security Oversight Committee reported that a significant majority of combat forces have been withdrawn from Khartoum, with more than 98% already relocated to bases outside the capital. Efforts to transport the remaining forces and address violations are ongoing in coordination with security bodies. The committee also announced the reestablishment of police presence, with the reopening of all police stations and public service centers, activation of 13 police-controlled security and inspection crossings, and deployment of rapid response vehicles.
The committee further stated that all destroyed vehicles in Khartoum will be removed, legal procedures will be taken, and owners will be informed of their locations. This is in response to these vehicles becoming centers for drugs and theft. Coordination with other committees is underway to address these issues.
Citizens have been urged to carry official documents and to avoid interactions with individuals lacking proper documentation. The committee emphasized the importance of citizen cooperation by providing information. Additionally, more than 3,800 foreigners, refugees, and unregistered residents have been moved to shelters, with those possessing ID cards being transferred to camps.
The committee highlighted that informal settlements had turned into crime hubs and were used to finance the war, with some residents encroaching on citizens’ property. This led to their removal, and the committee assured that the regularization of citizens’ situations will be managed gradually, respecting the humanity of the residents in informal housing.
