The minister’s statement, made during a press conference discussing Turkey’s initiative to resolve the ongoing conflict in Sudan, ignited reactions on platforms associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and others supportive of the Sudanese army. It also raised concerns that Ankara might have abandoned the Islamist movement, becoming an adversary instead.

Activists claimed that Turkey has realized the Sudanese army poses a barrier to ending the war and exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in the country. As a result, several previously supportive nations are reportedly withdrawing from the scene due to Al-Burhan‘s weakness, lack of decisive leadership, and the Muslim Brotherhood and former regime’s grip on power.

He highlighted the severe humanitarian tragedies caused by the civil conflict in Sudan, which has resulted in the deaths of many civilians and the displacement of thousands, severely impacting people’s ability to access essential and safe food.
