In a spirited speech delivered before army officers and soldiers, Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Military Council, has brought up once again a disputed border region with Egypt, which has long been a source of contention between the two neighboring countries.
In a speech delivered Aug. 24 in the Wadi Seidna military zone in Khartoum on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the army, Burhan said the army would not abandon an inch of Sudan’s territories. “We shall not abandon or forget our right until the flag of Sudan is raised in Halayeb, Shalateen and every contentious area along the Sudanese borders,” he said.
