STORYLINE:

Chairman of Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council and General Commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan said on Thursday that the current war may lead to fragmentation of the country if not resolved.

Al-Burhan made the remarks when addressing the Sudanese police leaders in Port Sudan, the capital city of the Red Sea State in eastern Sudan.

"We are facing a war. If not resolved as quickly as required, it will cause fragmentation of Sudan and jeopardize the country's unity."

He stressed the SAF's ability to end the war, calling on the citizens to prepare for post-war arrangements.

Meanwhile, he called on the fighters of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to surrender their weapons.

"The Sudanese are now exposed to an unimaginable conspiracy. This is not a conspiracy from a specific group, but a major one."

The Sudanese army chief further disclosed that the RSF had committed war crimes in Darfur and Khartoum, stressing the need to hold those responsible to account.

Sudan has been witnessing deadly armed clashes between the SAF and RSF in Khartoum and other areas since April 15, which left over 3,000 people killed and more than 6,000 injured, according to the Sudanese Health Ministry.

More than 4.5 million people have been displaced inside and outside Sudan due to the conflict, according to the latest update by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
