Yesterday, Monday, the Political Secretary of the Beja Supreme Council, Sayed Abu Amna, revealed the presence of four armed groups in Eritrea working to inflame tensions in eastern Sudan.
He pointed out that these groups have links to leaders from the former National Congress Party.
Abu Amna explained that the groups include the Eastern Orta forces led by Al-Amin Daoud, the Eastern Sudan Liberation Movement led by Ibrahim Dunia, the National Justice and Development Movement forces led by Muhammad Tahir Suleiman Beitai, and the Beja Congress led by Musa Muhammad Ahmed.
He added that these leaders are linked to the National Congress Party and are being used to stir up strife in eastern Sudan with the aim of undermining the transitional period.
Abu Amna also indicated that the military authorities did not take any measures against recruitment advertisements published by some of these groups in Kassala.
He stressed that these movements are unable to protect themselves and are working to involve the National Congress in any upcoming settlement, in addition to their role in igniting strife to disrupt the transitional period.
Abu Amna stated that the leaders of the army and the Rapid Support used the head of the Beja Council, Muhammad Al-Amin Turk, in September 2021 to close ports and roads in eastern Sudan before the coup against the transitional government on October 25, 2021.
He explained that the goal of the armed groups’ movements is to bring the National Congress into power or to thwart the transitional period.
Abu Amna accused Eritrea of exploiting these groups to put pressure on Sudanese governments despite their concerns over their borders and interests.
He added that the Council possesses information about the funds that were paid to establish training camps for armed groups, and that these movements enjoy support from the Sudanese and Eritrean authorities.
At the conclusion of his statements, Abu Amna criticized the control of the security services over the Beja Council wing, led by the head of the Hadandawa tribe, Muhammad al-Amin Turk, pointing out that these services control the lists of participants in conferences and meetings.
He threatened to take an independent position if the African Union continued its discussions with the Coordination of Civil Democratic Forces and Islamists.
