Members of the Supreme Council of Beja Opticals and Al-Amoudiya closed, at dawn today, Saturday, the oil pipeline in the areas of Dahant and Haya (eastern Sudan), in the context of the council's escalation of protests against the eastern path within the peace agreement, and to demand development and an end to marginalization.

The leader of the Supreme Council of Beja Opticals (east of the country), Muhammad Oshik - told Anadolu Agency - that as part of our escalation plan, we closed the oil pipeline that transports gasoline and gasoline to the capital, Khartoum, at the Haya station in the Red Sea state (east).

He added that we have other escalatory steps, including Internet and communications cables in the Red Sea, as long as there are no initiatives for a solution by the government.

Continuous escalation steps

On September 17, the Supreme Council of Beja and Al-Omoudiya Opticals announced the closure of a number of roads linking eastern Sudan with the rest of the country.

It also closed a number of ports on the Red Sea, including Port Sudan.

The Supreme Council of the Beja and Al-Amoudiya Opticals basically demands the abolition of the eastern Sudan route, which was signed within the Juba Peace Agreement.

It also calls for the dissolution of the current government, and waving the right to self-determination for eastern Sudan.


The Supreme Council of Beja Opticals and Al-Amoudiya had announced the complete closure of the road leading to the city of Port Sudan (east of the country).

The council said that it would prevent cars and buses from crossing into and out of Port Sudan at the Aqaba area, but in return it announced a partial lifting of the closure on Port Sudan airport for a period of 72 hours.

Yesterday, Friday, the head of the Supreme Council for Opticals and Verticals, Muhammad al-Amin Turk, launched a violent attack on Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and demanded his resignation, saying that Hamdok should prosecute those accused of the failed coup attempt or confessing lies to the people and the international community.

The successive developments in eastern Sudan raise questions about the nature of the entity that is formed in the name of the Supreme Council of Beja Opticals and the Independent Amaulia, its objectives and work mechanisms, and its relationship with official bodies and agencies.

The Supreme Council of Beja Heads and Independent Omoudiyas is a political component that arose during the Juba negotiations between the government and the Revolutionary Front, and it consists of civil and party leaders and unorganized youth groups.

It held its founding meeting in February 2020 in the Tamay region (south of Suakin) in the presence of mayors and dignitaries of the Beja tribes (eastern Sudan).

He adopted the issues of the eastern Sudan region and opposed the signing of the part of the region in the Juba Agreement.

On September 28, 2020, it held its first general conference in the city of Sinkat, in the Red Sea state, after the government neglected its demands.

The tribal council currently enjoys a mass majority in the eastern region of Sudan, and is protesting against the path of the East within the peace agreement signed in Juba between Khartoum and armed rebel movements. He demands the overthrow of the current civilian government and the authorization of the army to take over power.
