Commanders pledge to withdraw military formations from Khartoum on time
Commanders of the forces deployed in Khartoum have pledged to withdraw military formations by the agreed-upon time, in accordance with a Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) decision issued last month.
They declared their disclaimer of responsibility for the presence of fighters in the capital after the deadline.
On July 18, the President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, formed a committee headed by his assistant, Ibrahim Jabir, to prepare the ground for the return of displaced persons (IDPs) to Khartoum. Its tasks include evacuating the state of military formations and armed groups within two weeks.
The Chairman of the Committee for Evacuating the Capital from Military Formations and Joint Forces and the Collection of Weapons and Deputy Chief of Staff for Training, Lt. Gen. Abdel-Mahmoud Hamad Hussein, held a meeting on Sunday with committee members and commanders of the forces covered by the evacuation order.
The police press office stated that during the meeting, the commanders declared their disclaimer of responsibility for any presence of armed forces and formations in Khartoum after the agreed-upon deadline.
He indicated that the security services, after the deadline expires, will deal decisively with armed manifestations.
He explained that the meeting discussed arrangements for evacuating the capital from military presence, based on the decision of TSC President.
The commanders of the forces expressed their full commitment to withdrawing forces from Khartoum to the specified and agreed-upon sites and camps.
The Khartoum State Government has been actively working to remove the effects of the war, including removing informal settlements, removing bodies from homes and residential neighborhoods, maintaining electricity and drinking water stations, and removing mines and explosives.
On August 6, during his participation in a meeting of the Emergency and Crisis Management Committee in Khartoum State, Al-Burhan stated that the army was the first to implement the decision to evacuate the capital of all military formations in order to restore security and stability.
