 Sudan Sudan – During a speech after attending the conclusion of a military drill in the Maaqil district of the northern Nile River State, Sudan’s senior general Abdel Fattah al-Burhan warned against foreign meddling in the country’s internal affairs. “We are all observing the political landscape,” Abdel Fattah al-Burhan stated. “Unfortunately, we observe a number of diplomatic envoys moving among citizens, plainly attempting to provoke civilians to turn against the military forces in order to grasp the chance of interfering in Sudanese affairs.”

Al-Burhan accused foreign missions of inciting the Sudanese defense forces to revolt. He went on to say that this has further destabilized a country that is already seeing violent protests. “We warn them (the diplomats) against this type of activity and tell them that we can plainly see them and would not hesitate to take action against anyone violating Sudan’s security and sanctity or anything relating to Sudan,” Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said.
