The head of Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, told Al Jazeera that what happened should prevent the formation of any forces outside the womb of the army. He added that the Rapid Support Forces are the ones who attacked the army headquarters in the guest house, which is the residence of the President of the Sovereignity Council.

According to the head of the sovereignty council, the Rapid support Forces infiltrated Khartoum airport through the Hajj and Umrah hall.
