Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir said yesterday that the government in his country will not change the demonstrations, adding to his supporters in Nyala, the main city in the state of South Darfur, a day after the protesters there for the first time: "We said we have an economic problem, It will not be solved by burning and vandalism, the one way for the government, the election fund that separates us, the election fund and the people who will decide who will govern it in 2020.
"Sudan has many enemies, and these people have people who do not like security and stability. We will not allow these people to sabotage our country, and we will not allow them to burn and plunder our property."
He added: "Popular mobilization in the present state of South Darfur sends a message to the outside world," pointing out that Sudan is protected by its people.
Al-Bashir stressed that Sudan will remain united, safe, developed and advanced despite all the problems. He added: "The hope is to overcome all the crises, because the Sudan is rich in resources and men, despite the problems in which they live. The people come to Sudan from the sides of the earth because they found security, , Because these are our customs and traditions ». "You are the people of stability and its masters, and we will not allow any man to destroy, burn, break or loot, and tell the youth not to be destroyed, not burned, and this is your future," he said to the people of Nyala.
He continued: «Support is not strange to the people of Nyala, and not strange to you this enthusiasm and support».
