Port Sudan: Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Shams-Eddin Kabashi, heralded that the victory is coming soon, asserting that all areas where the rebel militias are present will be cleared and liberated soon.
According to Sudan News Agency, during a lengthy meeting with the walis (governors) and ministers in Portsudan on Saturday, Kabashi reassured the people that the position of the armed forces and supporting forces on the ground is more than good. He said, “We were in a bad situation at the beginning of the war, and now we are in a better position.”
Kabashi stated that President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, General Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, was very concerned about the security of citizens in the states and considers security a top priority, followed by other services.
The Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces expressed the leadership’s concern about security threats, mainly drones, and said, “We assure the people that these threats would be contained within a short period.”
Kabashi pointed out that the people remained united behind the army, and that the war and resistance to aggression are sustained by the people’s morale. He added that without the support of the people, the army’s steadfastness would not have continued.
He noted that the war has corrected many misconceptions and emphasized that everyone is fighting, with the army being merely a title, but the war is the people’s war.
The member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council praised the efforts of the Walis (governors) and their support for the federal government, highlighting that the walis are more in touch with the citizens and more closely connected to their daily issues.
He directed the walis to pay great attention to the issue of popular resistance, ensuring that it is represented in the national uniform and preventing any other uniform or banner of a political or regional nature.
Kabashi added that the role of the popular resistance will extend beyond the war, and that it is required to play a civilian role in reconstruction.
Kabashi stated that the plot for Sudan is greater than the militias, which represent only a title. He pointed out the security challenges created by the war, which require measures such as proliferation of weapons, theft, and crime, and indicated that the states are required to do a great deal of work.
He directed the walis to support police to carry out its much-needed role during this period.
Kabashi also addressed the societal aspect, managing public affairs, and the rise of hate speech, stressing that this requires a concerted effort from the states, especially as the country moves toward the end of the war.
