Hamdok calls for giving peace a chance in Sudan
Former Sudanese Prime Minister, Abdalla Hamdok, called Sunday for dialogue that leads to an agreement on means of resolving the current crisis in Sudan.
At a press briefing in the Sudanese capital, the former Sudanese premier
also called for rejecting foreign interference in his country.
"A chance has to be given to peaceful solutions," Hamdok said.
He expressed hopes that warring Sudanese parties would respond
positively to initiatives made by some regional states as well as appeals to
end Sudan's current crisis.
"Victors in this war will be nothing but losers," the former
Sudanese premier said.
"Peace is the only option for everyone," he added.
He demanded an immediate ceasefire in his country, referring to what he
described as 'catastrophic' humanitarian conditions in Sudan.
Understandings, he said, have to be reached to allow the creation of
safe corridors.
He called on friendly states to support the Sudanese people at this
testing time.
The Sudanese army said earlier that it had captured the headquarters of
the Rapid Support Force (RSF), describing it as a 'rebel militia'.
It said it also cut off all communication channels between the elements
of the RSF.
The army noted in a statement that over 80% of the ammunitions and the
fuel of the RSF had run out, while the force's members keep fleeing out of
Khartoum.
"We control all military sites in the capital and the other
states," the Sudanese army said.
It referred to some pockets that still resist army attacks in the
Sudanese capital.
Nevertheless, it said, these pockets are now under siege.
The army also confirmed the surrender of large numbers of RSF elements
in different Sudanese states.
"The Air Force carries out reconnaissance operations to locate the
gathering sites of the rebel militiamen," the army said.
