General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s army has been drawn into political controversy after General Sheiba Darar criticised Burhan over his public appearances during Sudan’s ongoing crises.
Darar accused al-Burhan of spending time at sports events, markets and social tea gatherings, while citizens continue to face worsening living conditions across the country.
He said leadership at this stage should prioritise urgent economic and public service challenges, rather than what he described as highly visible recreational or public engagements.
Reactions on social media were sharply divided, with some users praising Darar’s comments as candid, while others condemned them as an unusual and unprecedented political attack.
The exchange underscores rising public frustration over deteriorating services and places the leadership under increased scrutiny amid continuing national instability.
