Today, Saturday, Deputy Chairman of the Sudanese Sovereign Council, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), confirmed the commitment of the military component to return to the barracks and hand over power to an elected government, but they will not hand it over to those who receive salaries from the embassies, as he put it.
Hemedti said during a speech in the city of Port Sudan, the center of the Red Sea state, "We are committed to handing over power to patriots after the national accord that leads to the elections, and we will return to the barracks after the arrival of an elected government through the election boxes."
He indicated that they will not hand over power to those who receive their salaries from the embassies, and that they are ready to go to their homes, not to mention the barracks, as stated in a statement by the Sovereignty Council.
The head of the Democratic Unionist Party (the original) Muhammad Othman Al-Mirghani had put forward an initiative for reconciliation and a solution to the crisis in Sudan, calling on the political and social components to an internal dialogue.
And since last October 25, the country has witnessed protests in response to exceptional measures taken by the army chief, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, most notably the imposition of a state of emergency and the dissolution of the Sovereignty Councils and the Transitional Ministers.
Those who reject Al-Burhan's procedures say that they represent a "coup" against a transitional phase that began on August 21, 2019, and is supposed to end with elections in early 2024, during which power is shared by the army, civil forces and armed movements that signed a peace agreement with the government in 2020, while Al-Burhan rejects Describe what happened to the coup.
In a not-too-distant context, the Vice-President of the Sovereignty Council stated that politicians - without specifying them - had negatively mobilized the youth and deluded them that there was a tendency to sell the port, and added, "We are not agents to sell the resources of the people."
Hemedti's statement comes in response to political activists on social media who spoke of fears of concluding a deal with Russia over the sale of ports on the Red Sea.
