Khartoum: Member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Lt. Gen. Engineer Ibrahim Jabir, was briefed on the work progress of the Central Operations Chamber for monitoring security conditions and tracking threats in Khartoum State, within the framework of the Committee for Security Control and Imposition of State Prestige under the Higher Committee for the Return of Citizens to Khartoum State.
According to Sudan News Agency, in the presence of the Minister of Interior, the Wali (governor) of Khartoum, the Director General of Police Forces, and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Administration, Lt. Gen. Jabir inspected the logistical capabilities and technologies used in monitoring the state’s cities and supporting joint patrols with drones, which contribute to securing the capital and foiling security threats before they occur through patrols, checkpoints, and crossing-guard forces deployed across the capital.
General Jabir commended the performance of the joint teams operating within the chamber, calling for further coordination and cooperation to raise the level of security enforcement to the maximum in order to protect citizens’ lives and property. He further pledged to complete the chamber’s preparations and provide technical requirements by acquiring the latest surveillance camera technologies, communication devices, and increasing the number of drones to ensure comprehensive and continuous monitoring with high efficiency and quality.
For his part, Director of the Central Operations Chamber, Maj. Gen. (Police), Abdel-Karim Mohamed Khair, stated that the chamber has resumed its functions following the destruction and sabotage caused by the terrorist militia to its monitoring equipment. He noted that around 15 surveillance cameras have been reconnected in security-vulnerable areas in Karari and Omdurman localities, in addition to restoring the emergency number 999 and providing nine emergency and operations patrols.
He also indicated that a number of Khartoum crossings have been secured by joint forces, which carried out about 42 seizures. Moreover, some 210 checkpoints were deployed across the state, while joint patrols managed to seize stolen property, weapons, ammunition, drugs, and collaborators with the militia. The patrols also identified a case involving a group of ‘Nine Long’ gang members and returned them to their families.
Maj. Gen. Abdel-Karim added that the chamber operates through a strong networking system linking all regular forces and civil defense authorities to tighten monitoring of crossings, streets, and markets, and to prevent security threats and apprehend lawbreakers.
