CAIRO: Sudanese army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan has ruled out any reconciliation with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in a video statement in which he vowed to crush the group.
鈥淲e will neither forgive, nor compromise, nor negotiate,鈥� Al-Burhan said, adding that victory would only be complete when 鈥渢he last rebel has been eradicated from the last corner of Sudan.鈥� He also reaffirmed the military鈥檚 commitment to restoring national unity and stability. Burhan said fighters who 鈥渞epent to the truth鈥� could still be amnestied if they lay down their arms, particularly those who are in rebel-held areas.
The Sudanese army has declared victory over the RSF in Khartoum, claiming control of most parts of the capital.
RSF chief Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo admitted in a speech to fighters that the group had withdrawn from Khartoum. 鈥淚 confirm to you that we have indeed left Khartoum, but ... we will return with even stronger determination,鈥� Dagalo said.
The conflict has unleashed waves of ethnic violence, created what the UN calls the world鈥檚 worst humanitarian crisis.
