Head of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan accused Ethiopia of violating border agreements concluded with his country.
Speaking to members of the Sudanese armed forces in Khartoum on Sunday, Burhan said the army has re-imposed security on the country's borders and will not retreat from their positions.
In earlier remarks, he affirmed that Sudan is ready to respond to the Ethiopian occupation of its Al-Fashaqa area.
“No negotiations with Ethiopia would take place before Addis Ababa officially recognizes Sudanese sovereignty over the Al-Fashaqa area and demarcates the border,” he said.
He also siad that the army is fully coordinating with peace partners to carry out tasks required during the current phase.
“We have also been working with the executive government to implement the reforms necessary to attain economic stability.”
Buran highlighted the leadership’s efforts to “build a unified military institution that protects Sudan and its executive bodies.”
He pointed to the “positive developments” taking place during the political transition and their contribution to “building national cohesion, reinforcing the armed forces and accomplishing peace requirements.”
He also called for the swift formation of the Transitional Legislative Council and the Constitutional Court to achieve “freedom, peace and justice.”
