Today, Saturday, the Sudanese army issued a strongly worded statement criticizing those calling for reforming the military institution, but it withdrew it at a later time.
On its Facebook page, the army launched an attack on the calls for fundamental reforms in the military institution, considering them as a weakening of the largest national institution.
The statement added that these demands are trying to show the army as if its pillars have collapsed, and its foundations have been cracked, and that it is unable to meet the challenges.
The statement denied the existence of any complications that prevent the completion of the peace process and the integration of movements into the military establishment.
The statement accused unnamed Sudanese parties of seeking to sow discord between the army and the armed movements that signed the Juba Agreement.
The army later pulled the statement from its Facebook page.
It is noteworthy that the Sudanese army has been facing an armed rebellion for some time in more than one region of the country.
And in April 2019, the Sudanese army overthrew President Omar al-Bashir and announced a transitional phase to be run by a government of parity between civilians and military personnel.
Currently, the army is mobilizing its forces on the border with Ethiopia, in light of the tense relations between the two countries.
Earlier, the head of the Sudanese Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, stressed that the army and the rapid support forces are at the heart of one man, and they are working together to protect the security of the citizen and the transitional period in Sudan.
Al-Burhan warned against listening to what he described as rumors and attempts to sow discord.
The army faces strong criticism after the normalization of relations with Israel and in light of the continuing economic crisis in Sudan
