On April 6 Anniversary, Al-Burhan: Armed Forces a Genuine Partner of the People in the Battle of Dignity and Democratic Transition

President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, paid tribute to the Sudanese people and the Armed Forces, recalling historical moments that united both sides. In his remarks on the April 6 anniversary, Al-Burhan highlighted the symbolic significance of the day, recalling the Armed Forces’ response to popular demands in 1985 and a similar stance on April 6, 2019, culminating in the Sudanese people’s firm support for the Armed Forces in the Battle of Dignity against rebellion on April 15, 2023. He described the Sudanese as brave and dignified, rejecting humiliation and never standing idle in the face of oppression. “The slogan ‘One Army, One People’ is not mere words but a reality demonstrated most clearly during the Battle of Dignity, when everyone rallied to defend the nation,” he said.
Al-Burhan emphasized that the Armed Forces respond promptly whenever the people face hardship, calling these moments “bright chapters” in military history and honorable examples of the people’s resolve. He assured that the people will prevail and will not stand idle against tyranny. He also paid tribute to former Armed Forces leaders who upheld the principle of aligning with the people’s will, noting their roles in the 1985 and 2019 uprisings and their solidarity with the people during the Battle of Dignity. He offered prayers for the martyrs who sacrificed their lives and saluted all Sudanese who defended dignity and supported the Armed Forces.
Al-Burhan reaffirmed the Armed Forces’ commitment to continuing the path of national reconstruction begun in 1985 and 2019 and stressed adherence to achieving the desired democratic transition, underscoring that the Sudanese people alone have the right to determine their future and choose their leadership by their preferred means.
