No be small matter o! Sudan army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan yarn say true peace go fit settle for Sudan if dem no defeat the paramilitary group wey dem call RSF, naim cause wahala since 2023. E no wan hear anything about political settlement wey fit include dem.
For Port Sudan, Burhan dey talk for im house as he make am clear say any proposal wey go allow RSF remain for political matter no go help achieve any solution, e go just delay the wahala wey dey ground.
“No peace go show face until we finish this RSF matter,” na wetin e talk. He no mean sey everyone go die, but rather sey dem fit lay down arms and surrender. Why you go wan dey postpone war wey dey affect everybody for Sudan?
As this war don dey run since April 2023, the effect dey clear: towns don turn to battlefield, millions dey flee for their lives, and humanitarian crisis don dey hit wahala wey dey vex the world in general. Burhan dey tok say every family for Sudan don feel the impact of this crisis. “No Sudanese citizen dey untouched,” e add.
As ef say e no get time for international nonsense, Burhan dey look the way wey RSF dey gain ground. “Dem no fit call ceasefire when na dem dey carry fight everywhere. When dem fall El Fasher last year, na that time dem start to shout for ceasefire,” e explain.
But e also dey propose mediators like Türkiye and Qatar, but RSF no wan hear anything about dem. Burhan also mention say Egypt and Saudi Arabia fit really contribute. “We dey trust God first, then President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,” na im talk.
As wahala dey sharp for battlefield, Burhan hin side don repel attack by RSF and SPLM-N for Blue Nile state. Na im army dey show say dem never slack as dem scatter some military vehicles wey RSF carry come. Videos don dey circulate wey show dem capture and destroy RSF properties.
For the background, Sudanese army don dey hold most area for Blue Nile state, while SPLM-N dey fight for their own autonomy since 2011. This matter no dey small at all: e still dey spread to neighbouring South Sudan wey don dey face their own fight also as people dey report serious civilian casualties.
For South Sudan sef, na wah o! As per report, fighting don begin again for Jonglei state, wey don make over 180,000 people run away from their homes since December last year. Dem dey call am “security operation” but people dey see am as threat to their lives.
Information Minister for South Sudan, Ateny Wek Ateny, don dey talk say dem no dey war, but just dey hold back rebel forces. But the truth be say, since when the civil war begin in 2013, dem never fit see real peace, and now, the situation dey worse with new factions and accusations flying everywhere.
As of now, OCHA don raise alarm say humanitarian efforts dey minimum, and without help, plenty people go dey suffer more. Na wetin we dey see for this matter dey affect not only Sudan but the whole region. If no solution come, e go dey turn to big fire wey fit affect everybody!
