The LMJ-K Spokesperson appealed to “all regular government forces to side with the Sudanese people instead of protecting and defending this Khartoum minority that has monopolised the country’s power and wealth. The Khartoum regime is the cause of many, many deaths as well as the displacement of even more Sudanese. It is ready to annihilate the remainder of the Sudanese population in order to stay in power”.
