| Sudan Army rejects proposal to deploy East African troops to the country |
| 2023-07-25 |
A senior general from the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) has supported the rejection of a proposal to deploy the East African troops to the troubled country. Lt Gen Yasir Alatta, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Sudan Armed Forces on Sunday said the army stands opposed to the presence of an East African force tasked with protecting civilians and aid workers. Sudan has openly accused Kenyan president William Ruto of having business ties with its rival paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and refuses to cooperate with the quartet group until he is replaced. Meanwhile, ...back at the dirigible, Cynthia backed into the galley, the barbecue fork held in front of her. Jack!she called. Where the hell are you?... Saudi and US mediators are continuing their efforts to bring the warring parties to commit to ending the war. General Alatta emphasized that the army’s ultimate goal was to preserve a united Sudan "free from the Janjaweed menace." "We, as soldiers, do not aspire to govern; rather, the political forces have to reach an agreement and govern the country, but we tell them that Sudan is not a game for every unscrupulous politician, profiteer, and mercenary," he stressed. The war has entered its 100th day, and the army has deployed infantry forces in Khartoum to launch ground operations against the RSF militiamen. Additionally, the military has established training camps for volunteers in northern, eastern, and central Sudan states. |

| #1 Note the lack of training camps in the west. That means Darfur is not named. Another indication that the battle being fought pits Nile Arab against African tribals. Also, it is not clear who is offering East African troops? Certainly, it can't be Kenya or Somalia which have problems of their own. Or Djibouti, or Tanzania. Or even Uganda. So who is left in East Africa? Malawi? Mozambique? Eritrea or Ethiopia (each of which has a problem with Somalia)? |
