Top Sudanese general vows military will hold power for 20 years after war

If the Sudanese military wins the current civil war, they will enact a period of strict military oversight for at least 15 to 20 years after its end, while permitting elections for civilian officials, such as a prime minister, who would be subordinate to the army chief.

That’s according to Lieutenant General Yasser Al-Atta, the Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Sudan Armed Forces. He made the remark Tuesday while visiting Mu’aqeel, a military camp south of Shendi in River Nile State.
