Portsudan: Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) and Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Jabir Ibrahim, stressed the need for concerted government and popular efforts to establish peace and community security, peaceful coexistence, and community development. During a meeting with a delegation from the Supreme Committee for the Masalit People in Sudan at his office in Portsudan on Sunday, he emphasized the importance of strengthening national unity, popular cohesion, and community building.
According to Sudan News Agency, the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Popular Committee for the Masalit People, Chieftain Yagoub Mohamed Al-Malik, explained that the meeting addressed the outcomes of previous meetings, particularly the committee’s commitment to supporting the armed forces and providing military units in West Darfur with a number of Masalit sons to defend the homeland. He explained that the delegation denounced the Nairobi meeting, stressing that what took place there did not represent the Sudanese people or their identity.
Furthermore, the Vice-Chancellor of Al-Geneina University and a member of the delegation, explained that the delegation congratulated the TSC Member, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, on the victories achieved on all fronts, particularly the entry into the Presidential Palace, a symbol of national sovereignty. He pointed out that this war was imposed on Sudan by internal and external motives aimed at impoverishing Sudan, its people, and its identity.
He also noted the determination of the people of West Darfur to eliminate the effects of the war through visions and ideas, rebuild what was destroyed by the war, and confront any ideas that seek to divide and dismantle Sudan’s unity. He stressed the necessity to extend state sovereignty, enforce the spirit of the law, and impose deterrent penalties against mercenaries and agents. He explained that external and internal motives led some Masalit people to fall into the abyss of rebellion.
