Our forces reaffirm their firm commitment to protect civilians and standing against the relentless attacks launched by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) operating under the terrorist Islamic Movement through almost daily by airstrikes and drones, deliberately target residential neighborhoods, public facilities, vital infrastructure, and hospitals—constituting a blatant violation of international laws and norms.

Our forces reaffirm their full preparedness to confront any aggression aimed at endangering civilians or seeks to destabilize the region, emphasizing their ongoing vigilance and presence on the ground to protect cities and villages, ensuring the protection and security of citizens. We stress that our forces will never allow any threat to the safety of the homeland or the lives of innocent people.
