Vice-President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), Commander Malik Agar, declared that the Sudanese Armed Forces “will not be defeated,” stressing the Sudanese people’s firm alignment with the Army and its leadership. He called on all citizens capable of bearing arms—across professions and sectors—to mobilize in defence of the homeland and protect national sovereignty.
Speaking to Sudan TV, Agar underscored that the Armed Forces are not seeking to remain in power, asserting that their responsibility is to end the war and guide a political process that returns authority to the Sudanese people through elections.
TSC Vice-President warned that the conflict extends far beyond Sudan’s borders, describing it as a war that threatens the entire African continent. He stated that ambitions targeting Sudan also endanger neighbouring states, which makes confronting these threats vital for the security of both Sudan and the Horn of Africa.
He reiterated that victory for the Armed Forces is inevitable and that national reconstruction will follow, framing the moment as a historic opportunity to end the war, rebuild the state, and achieve justice.
Agar said there is currently no viable party for negotiations, arguing that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leadership lacks real control over the conflict due to the involvement of multiple foreign actors—most prominently the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its affiliated mercenaries.
Commenting on ceasefire proposals from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in Eastern Africa, the African Union, and other platforms, he affirmed Sudan’s right to assess these initiatives strictly based on whether they serve national security and the unity of Sudan—land and people.
TSC Vice-President also addressed international support for the “terrorist militia,” saying some countries are directly involved, while others contribute indirectly or through institutions. He highlighted the transit of weapons and mercenaries through foreign territories and airports, stressing the need to neutralize such states and warn them of the consequences of their actions.
He revealed that Sudan has taken legal measures against the United Arab Emirates over what he described as its overt support for the RSF militia, adding that Sudan is also working to neutralize other influential states. He pointed to steps taken with Colombia regarding mercenaries and to direct communications with Kenya—including at the presidential and parliamentary levels—as part of wider efforts to address these threats.
