The units, led by the vice president of the Sovereign Council and number two of the Army, Mohamed Hamdan Dagaloalias “Hemedti”, they pointed out that this occurs in response to the “attack launched this morning by the Armed Forces” in the Soba camps in southern Khartoum.

According to the note of FARhave controlled the Presidential Palace and guest house, as well as the international airport of Khartoum, the largest in the country; the one of marawiin northern Sudan and bordering Egypt, and that of al-obeid, in the south of Sudan.

“What he did Command of the Armed Forces and various officers represents a clear violation against our forces, which were committed to peace and exercised restraint.”indicated the FAR, and wanted to calm the citizens in Sudan saying that “They are safe and that the situation is under control.”

For their part, the Armed forces stated in a statement that they are facing “the brutal aggression” of the FAR and that they will protect the country from “his betrayal”.

The Army said that the action they carried out this morning came in response to an attack that the FAR had previously committed in Khartoum against their units.

Two days ago, the Sudanese Army warned that the country was going through a “dangerous juncture” that can lead to armed conflict after “mobilize” units of the FARSudan’s most powerful paramilitary group, in the capital Khartoum and other cities.

“Hemedti” yesterday showed his willingness to seek a solution to the tension generated without there being “bloodshed, according to Sudanese officials who act as mediators between the military.

This mobilization occurred in the midst of negotiations to reach a definitive political agreement that would put an end to the 2021 coup and lead Sudan to a democratic transition, a pact whose signing has been postponed twice this April precisely due to tensions between the Army and the FAR.

The FAR emerged from the militias Janjawidaccused of committing crimes against humanity during the Darfur conflict (2003-2008).
