The Sudanese Republican Party condemned General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan for barring civilian political leaders from returning to their home country.
The exclusionary decree threatens to silence voices advocating for democratic reform while the military maintains its contested hold on power.
Party leaders characterized the commander’s statements as a direct violation of constitutional rights upheld by universal and national legal norms.
The ban specifically targets prominent figures such as former Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok and Khalid Omar Youssef among other leaders.
The Republican Party accused the de facto authority of attempting to transform the state into an Islamic military fiefdom.
They asserted that Sudan is a shared homeland for all citizens and cannot be governed by one man’s personal whims.
Critics argue the military’s rhetoric masks a deep fear of a civil project that could lead to much-needed democratic accountability.
The statement further alleged that the military establishment remains hijacked by the Muslim Brotherhood to serve an authoritarian, violent agenda.
Meanwhile, the nation suffers under a catastrophic war that has displaced millions and created one of the world’s worst crises.
The party warned that such political bankruptcy only deepens the humanitarian disaster currently tearing the fabric of the Sudanese nation.
