Al-Burhan's Praise for Journalists Amidst Conflict in Sudan

In a significant meeting held in Port Sudan, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, Chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, commended the honorable position of journalists and media professionals in the ongoing conflict against the Rapid Support Forces. Al-Burhan's remarks came as he acknowledged the vital role that the media plays in supporting the armed forces and the Sudanese populace during these turbulent times.

Al-Burhan emphasized the sacrifices made by the armed forces and various regular forces, along with the popular resistance, in countering the threats posed by the Rapid Support Forces. He declared that the Sudanese people are united in their decision to reject these “rebels and mercenaries,” asserting that there is no future for the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.

Sudan's Stance on International Negotiations

During the meeting, Al-Burhan also addressed the ongoing negotiations regarding the conflict, revealing that Sudan declined to participate in the Geneva negotiations. He stated that the invitation did not align with the country’s requirements, highlighting Sudan's commitment to maintaining its sovereignty and addressing the conflict on its own terms. This decision underscores the complexities of international diplomacy in the context of internal strife.

Support for Journalists Affected by War

In a poignant moment, the head of the Sudanese Journalists Union, Al-Sadiq Al-Ruzaiqi, expressed condolences for journalists who have lost their lives due to the conflict with the Rapid Support Forces. He advocated for the establishment of a fund to assist journalists impacted by the war and launched an initiative aimed at rehabilitating media institutions that have been damaged. Al-Ruzaiqi’s call for health insurance and support for journalists highlights the critical need for safeguarding the freedom of the press in times of crisis.

  • The meeting concluded with various journalists voicing their concerns and suggestions on how to strengthen the role of journalism in Sudan. They emphasized the need for greater access to information to effectively serve the public interest and uphold the values of journalism in the face of adversity. The collective sentiment among the media professionals present was one of resilience and a commitment to continue reporting on the situation in Sudan, despite the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict.
