Al-Burhan: Sanctions Will Not Weaken Sudan’s Resolve; We Will Continue the Battle Until Every Inch of Sudan Is Liberated

Khartoum, August 24, 2026 (SUNA) — President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, praised the officers, non-commissioned officers, and personnel of the Sudanese Police Forces, highlighting their longstanding traditions and disciplined institutional structures in carrying out their mission of serving society.Addressing on Monday the graduation ceremony of the 22nd batch of officer trainees at the College of Police Sciences and Law, Al-Burhan said the police had always enjoyed the trust of the Sudanese people and served as a vigilant guardian of their security and stability, protecting and safeguarding their rights.He praised the pioneering generation of police leaders who contributed to establishing these values, and highlighted the Police Forces’ contributions to supporting the “Battle of Dignity.”Al-Burhan noted that the Police Forces had fought alongside the Armed Forces in the battle, stressing that the police are entrusted with protecting all citizens’ rights and underscoring the longstanding heritage and traditions of the Police Forces in serving the people.The TSC President reassured the Sudanese people that the Armed Forces, supported by the other regular forces, are moving forward toward restoring security and stability across the country.He affirmed that the enemy would be defeated and that citizens would return to their areas and villages to resume their normal lives.Al-Burhan said that ongoing talk about the possibility of imposing sanctions on Sudan would neither affect the country nor weaken its resolve, adding, “Our lives and destiny are in Allah’s hands.” He called on the Sudanese people not to pay attention to what enemies and malicious actors are circulating about imposing a no-fly zone over the country, reaffirming Sudan’s determination to continue the “Battle of Dignity” until every inch of Sudanese territory defiled by the rebellion is liberated.He added: “Our message to those staying in hotels abroad and applauding sanctions in an attempt to subjugate the Sudanese people is that the people will not be broken, and failure and disappointment will befall you.” He said those individuals would not be able to rule the Sudanese people again.General Al-Burhan commended the enormous sacrifices made by the Sudanese people in this national battle, stating that the Sudanese people do not want to see the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) return to the political scene.Regarding the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement, General Al-Burhan said that the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North, led by TSC Vice-President Malik Agar, had joined the Armed Forces with all its forces, calling on other armed movements to follow this example.BH/BH
