Agar: Sudan is not a testing ground for mercenaries

Deputy Head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Malik Agar, stated that Sudan is not a testing ground, and its land is not open to those who believe that weapons create legitimacy or that violence establishes a state.
In a speech addressed to the Sudanese people on the occasion of Christmas and the anniversary of the revolution, Agar announced the launch of a comprehensive national resistance and reconstruction campaign based on revolutionary principles for a new Sudan. He called on citizens in all neighborhoods, villages, and districts to join the national resistance, explaining that it is not merely a defense of the land, but a protection of the dignity of the Sudanese people from being violated by the Rapid Support Forces militia and mercenaries, and a preservation of the unity of Sudanese territory.

Decisive Messages to the Treacherous Militia and the “Founding Alliance”

Lieutenant General Malik Agar addressed a strongly worded message to those mobilizing mercenaries, stating: “To those who are mobilizing their militias and the mercenaries of the Founding Alliance, and to all who dare to violate the sanctity of Sudanese soil and the dignity of its people, we say: you have chosen the wrong path.” He emphasized that Sudan, which has been nourished by the blood of martyrs throughout decades of struggle, will not be easy prey for mercenary adventures. He described the so-called “Founding Alliance” and its attempts, along with its foreign allies, to attack Sudanese cities as a new chapter in a destructive project targeting national security and the future of generations.

The Armed Forces and Popular Resistance: An Impregnable Barrier

Deputy Head of the Sovereignty Council emphasized that attempts to occupy Sudan will be met with fierce resistance, stressing that the Armed Forces, the Popular Resistance, and supporting forces will stand as an impregnable barrier against the illusions of control and expansion. He explained that resistance is a defense of rights and a steadfast national duty, and that remaining on one's land is the valiant expression of sovereignty. He pointed out that the struggle of the Sudanese people has taught everyone that freedom is both light and fire, and that choosing the "fire of resistance" today is the only way to preserve the light of independence.

Foiling External Scenarios and the Fate of Collapsed States

Agar affirmed the Sudanese people's ability to persevere and safeguard independence, and to foil all attempts to drag the country into the fate of collapsed states or to impose externally dictated scenarios, regardless of their label, whether "initiatives" or "meetings." He stressed that Sudan's sovereignty is a red line that cannot be crossed under any pretext, and that comprehensive national resistance is the decisive response to anyone plotting to undermine the unity and stability of the Sudanese state.

Sudanese Police Shut Down 40 Fake Military Offices and Arrest 5,000 Suspects in Khartoum

Sudanese police announced the closure of several offices used by individuals impersonating security forces, along with the arrest of thousands of suspects in Khartoum State over the past few months. This comes as part of extensive security campaigns to combat crime and restore the rule of law.

Police spokesman, Brigadier General Fath Al-Rahman Muhammad Al-Toum, stated that authorities closed more than 40 offices in areas south of Khartoum and west of Omdurman after arresting more than 200 people suspected of في impersonating security personnel during November. He added that the police conducted 22 security campaigns from July until December 21, resulting in the arrest of approximately 5,000 individuals wanted for various criminal offenses within the state.

Al-Toum added that these campaigns also led to the recovery of more than 35,000 items of property looted from citizens' homes, including electrical appliances, gas cylinders, computers, and other movable property, which were seized as evidence at police stations. Quantities of weapons, narcotics, and medications violating the Pharmacy and Poisons Act were also seized.

The spokesperson indicated that the police have begun employing modern technologies as part of their 2026 security plan. These technologies include surveillance cameras, control rooms, and drones, all aimed at enhancing monitoring and reducing organized crime.

These measures come amidst a deteriorating security situation in some areas of Khartoum State, resulting from the proliferation of armed groups and gangs using false official affiliations. This has led to an increase in reports of intimidation of civilians and attacks on their property.

Brigadier General Al-Toum confirmed that the police have reinforced their presence at key crossings through joint checkpoints with the Armed Forces and the General Intelligence Service. He added that they maintain ongoing coordination with judicial authorities, including the judiciary, prosecution, and prisons, to support efforts to establish security and stability.

He noted that the police continue to face several challenges, including returning confiscated items to their owners according to legal procedures, rehabilitating departments and facilities damaged by the war, replacing lost vehicles, and creating the necessary security conditions for citizens to return to their homes.

Arab League Announces Support for the Peace Initiative Proposed by Kamil Idris

The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, called yesterday (Tuesday) for a positive response to the Sudanese peace initiative, which includes a comprehensive ceasefire, stressing that it is “a serious and viable framework for resolving the crisis in Sudan.”

He stated that the initiative reflects a deep understanding of the gravity of the crisis facing Sudan and a clear commitment to ending the war, stopping the bloodshed, and alleviating the humanitarian suffering endured by the Sudanese people, while preserving Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, according to a statement from the Arab League.

During his address to the UN Security Council, Idris presented an initiative that includes a comprehensive ceasefire under the supervision of the United Nations, the African Union, and the Arab League, along with guarantees for the disarmament of what he termed "rebel militias."

Advisor Jamal Rushdi, the official spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, affirmed that "the Arab League values the highly significant political, humanitarian, and security messages contained in the initiative and considers it a serious and constructive framework that warrants positive engagement. It is a key component of any comprehensive solution and of the efforts aimed at ending the armed conflict and restoring security and stability in Sudan, thus preventing any threat to its national unity or the disintegration of its social fabric."
