Hamidti said in an audio recording he posted today (Monday) on ((Facebook)), "This war was imposed on us, not against the Sudanese army, but against the remnants of the former regime."
Hemedti announced the formation of a committee and a field court to resolve any violations against citizens, and said, "We are following with interest the violations against civilians, and they will be dealt with firmly."
The commander of the Rapid Support Forces expressed his readiness to provide protection and assistance to the Sudanese people, and said, "We have begun to cooperate with the citizens to confront any escape by all parties."
