Sudan's military chief Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan has warned of possible measures against foreign diplomatic missions for their alleged incitement against the Sudanese army.

Burhan also reiterated his commitment to the political agreement struck with Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.

On 25 October, the military dismissed Hamdok's transitional government. However, Burhan later reinstated the PM to form a civil government after coming under local and international pressure.

“A number of diplomatic envoys are … clearly trying to incite the people to turn against the armed forces in order to seize the opportunity of interfering in Sudanese affairs,” said Burhan at a military graduation ceremony in River Nile state in northeastern Sudan.

“We will not hesitate to take action against anyone committing violations against the security of Sudan,” he warned.

On the agreement with Hamdok, he said the army was committed to maintain peace and to prepare for the elections.
