Sudan’s chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Commander of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), Lt Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan, is scheduled to address the 77th United Nations General Assembly session today.
Few believed Burhan s promise to hand over to civilians ahead of elections. And many fear that his deputy Hemeti is building a formidable power base, Two-and-a-half months on from General Abdel Fattah el Burhan s announcement that he and his fellow military officers were withdrawing from the political dialogue and would leave civilian politicians free to form a new government, the widespread scepticism that greeted it appears fully justified.
Lawyers questioned the validity of the legal measures taken against members of the now-suspended Empowerment Removal Committee (ERC), who were detained on Wednesday. An adviser to Lt Gen Abdelfattah El Burhan, Commander-in-Chief of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), refused to call the arrests ‘political’.
On Sunday, doctors in Khartoum organised a demonstration to protest the violence used by government forces against hospitals treating wounded protesters. Resistance committees in Khartoum denounce the authorities’ attempts ‘to demonise them’.
