SOVEREIGNTY COUNCIL CHAIRMAN GENERAL AL-BURHAN VOWS MILITARY CAMPAIGN UNTIL ALL TERRITORY IS RETAKEN AS UN SECURITY COUNCIL EXTENDS SANCTIONS ROLLOVER
PORT SUDAN / UNITED NATIONS — In a major national defense and diplomatic declaration, Chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, officially reaffirmed that the national military campaign will press forward continuously until every inch of Sudanese territory under paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) control is liberated.
Addressing military commanders and regional state representatives during an operational inspection in Port Sudan, General al-Burhan explicitly rejected external political mediation proposals or conditional ceasefires that compromise national sovereignty.
The executive statement coincides with official diplomatic action at the United Nations Security Council in New York, where Sudan’s permanent mission welcomed the technical two-month rollover extension of Resolution 1591 sanctions.
Sudanese diplomatic representatives commended the UN Security Council for upholding Sudan’s national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and legitimate right to self-defense, while firmly rejecting attempts by foreign interest groups to expand statutory sanctions or restrict state military procurement.
In operational field developments, military commanders confirmed that SAF ground forces, supported by allied regional units, continue counter-offensive operations across the Blue Nile, El Obeid, and Greater Khartoum sectors to secure critical public infrastructure, safeguard displacement corridors, and restore legal administrative authority across eastern and central states.
