Sudan's military leader Abdel Fattah al Burhan, who led a coup in 2021, calls on troops to 'end' its long history of supporting authoritarian leaders amid efforts to implement country's transition back to civilian rule
Abdel Fattah al Burhan, who seized power in a 2021 coup, vows to"put an end" to the military's long history of staging takeovers and supporting"dictatorial governments".
"During our history, the armed forces have supported dictatorial governments, and we want to put an end to that," Burhan, a career soldier during Bashir's three-decade rule, said in a speech to soldiers on Sunday. Reform of the military and the security forces is a key point of tension in discussions on a two-phase political process launched in December, envisaging the military's exit from politics once a civilian government is installed.
The proposed reforms include the integration into the regular army of the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces , led by Burhan's deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.Created in 2013, RSF emerged from the Popular Defence Forces, a government-backed/linked militia known as the Janjaweed that Bashir unleashed a decade earlier in the western region of Darfur against non-Arab rebels, where it was accused of war crimes by rights groups.
