The Sudanese Ministry of Defense calls on army retirees and all those who are able to bear arms to mobilize in response to the excesses of the RSF

Today, Friday, the Sudanese Ministry of Defense called on retirees of the armed forces and “all those capable of carrying weapons” to go to the nearest military command to arm them in order to secure themselves and their families, in response to the abuses of the Rapid Support Forces against civilians and army retirees, and what it described as “humiliating the symbols of the state.”

Sudanese Defense Minister Yassin Ibrahim Yassin said – in a statement by the ministry – “We urge all retirees of the armed forces, including officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, and all those who are able to bear arms, to go to the nearest military command to arm them in order to secure themselves, their sanctities, and their neighbors, and protect their honor, and work according to the plans of these (military) areas.”

He added that this appeal came after “the rebel forces persisted in humiliating the symbols of the state, including writers, journalists, judges, and doctors, and imprisoning, chasing and arresting retired regular forces.”
