Militia places six senior commanders under house arrest amid internal rifts

The official spokesperson for the Special Operations Forces, Mohammed Deedan, has revealed what he described as deep internal fractures and a state of confusion within the ranks of the “rebel militia,” confirming that internal decisions have been issued placing six group commanders under house arrest.

In press statements, Deedan said the militia leadership had urgently summoned commanders of the “Barra,” “Export Road,” and “West Kordofan” axes for interrogation, following what he described as serious mutual accusations and a severe operational failure. He added that these developments have been accompanied by a growing state of fear and panic among militia members, urging the Armed Forces and civilians to maintain battlefield pressure during what he called a decisive phase.

Regarding surrender cases, following the reported surrender of prominent militia commander Al-Noor Al-Quba to the Sudanese Army, the spokesperson reiterated what he described as the Armed Forces’ position that the state remains open to any combatant who chooses to lay down arms and submit to legal authority, while stressing that “private rights of victims” remain valid and do not subject to a statute of limitations.

Deedan further stated that the recent increase in surrender cases represents, in his view, a decisive victory for the army, attributing it to battlefield resolution and precise intelligence work. He said: “We did not ask anyone to surrender; we forced them to do so through firepower and bravery.”

He assured the Sudanese public that the Armed Forces are operating according to a well-planned military strategy, calling for patience and confidence in the leadership, and stating that “the coming period will bring many breakthroughs and victories.”

He concluded that the internal collapse of the militia’s structure is accelerating what he described as the “final victory,” noting that the Sudanese Army holds the initiative across all strategic fronts.
