Today, Saturday, the Sudanese Armed Forces affirmed their commitment to the course of the ongoing political process and strict adherence to what was agreed upon in the framework agreement with the political forces in the country, which leads to the unification of the military system and the establishment of a civilian-led government.
A spokesman for the armed forces said in a statement that the “outbidding” of some with their positions “will not deceive” the people, noting that the armed forces were the first to initiate the exit from the political process.
The statement added that talking about the unwillingness of the leadership of the armed forces to complete the process of change and democratic transformation is an open attempt to gain political advantage and obstruct the process of transition.

Last Thursday, the head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council in Sudan, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, expressed his hope that the political process in the country would proceed smoothly until its end.
The council said in a statement that Al-Burhan also expressed his hope that all parties would agree “in order to achieve a safe exit for the country from the current political crisis, leading to free and fair elections.”
Al-Burhan also affirmed the commitment of the armed forces to withdraw from the political process, and to form a civilian government with a broad base that will lead the country during the remainder of the transitional period, according to the statement.
