Bashir did not intercede for everything he did in this regard when it was decided to isolate him.

Sudanese military commanders involved in the Yemen war include General Emad Mustafa Adawi, the chief of staff of the Sudanese General Staff who visited Al-Anad base in 2016, and General Abdul Fattah Al Burhan, who oversaw the Sudanese forces in Yemen in coordination with Lt. Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Humaidati.
