KHARTOUM: Sudan’s army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan warned that the military would confront a radical group wearing army uniforms that called on fighters it described as “mujahideen” to join Iran if it faced a ground invasion by the US or Israel.
Al-Burhan said the army would not allow any party to speak in its name or exploit its identity to pursue political or ideological goals.
He signaled that strict measures could be taken, warning to back down and return to what he called “the right path.”
The group had declared during a communal Ramadan iftar that it was ready to defend Iran if it faced a ground invasion by the US or Israel, sparking wide debate in political and media circles.
Al-Burhan also expressed solidarity with the Gulf Arab states, saying they had supported Sudan over the years.
