Sudanese Army Chief Vows to Defeat RSF and Rejects No-Fly Zone
Sudanese Army Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan delivered a defiant speech on August 24, vowing to liberate every inch of Sudanese territory from the Rapid Support Forces. Speaking at a military graduation in Khartoum, Burhan dismissed reports of a proposed U.S. no-fly zone and urged citizens to ignore international pressure. The statement signals a rejection of diplomatic compromises as the four-year-long civil war intensifies, with both sides continuing to deploy drones and mercenaries across the country.
