Burhan changes his positions on Sudanese forces in Yemen war

SANAA, Sept. 17 (YPA) – Chief of the Sudanese Sovereign Council Lt-Gen Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan has retracted his earlier statements on the continuation of Sudanese forces in Saudi-led war coalition against Yemen.

Burhan said in an interview with Al-Jazeera on Monday that “Sudanese forces will remain in Yemen,” said Burhan in an interview with Al-Jazeera on Monday, adding that “the Sudanese forces’ withdrawal from Yemen will be when necessary.”

Burhan said in mid-last month that the decision to withdraw the Sudanese forces from Yemen, “will be taken by the civil competency government that was agreed to be formed in last July,” before he changed his remarks Monday, pending the issue of the withdrawal of Sudanese forces on the “necessity”.

Sudan is participating in the ground forces, which are the largest in the coalition of war on Yemen, and hundreds of Sudanese mercenaries have been killed in confrontations with the Yemeni army and the popular committees.

The withdrawal of Sudanese troops from Yemen is one of the most important demands of the Sudanese revolution that toppled al-Bashir.
