General Intelligence Service Director: Getting Rid of Insurgency
Khartoum – Sudanhorizon
The Director General of the Sudanese General Intelligence Service (GIS), Lieutenant General Ahmed Ibrahim Mufaddal, has emphasized the necessity of cleansing every inch of the homeland from the taint of insurgency to prevent the country from facing the risk of fragmentation.
Mugfadal highlighted the vital role media can play in informing domestic and international public opinion about events in Sudan, affirming the Service’s commitment to societal security and safety, as well as to addressing challenges facing the cohesion of the social fabric.
He further asserted that the current conflict is a war of aggression in which external actors play a major role. He pointed to the importance of engaging in substantive dialogue with neighboring countries—specifically Ethiopia, Chad, and eastern Libya—to reach mutual understandings that alleviate concerns and bolster regional interests, security, and stability.
He noted that geography dictates a reality of neighborhood that no party can simply bypass or choose to leave behind.
While addressing a forum for Sudanese media professionals in Khartoum on Wednesday, Lieutenant General Mufaddal commended the role media personnel are playing in the “Battle of Dignity” and their efforts to counter conspiracies targeting Sudan and its people.
He praised the media’s performance over the recent period and called for continued dedication and effort.
Mufaddal also called on the Sudanese Journalists Union to broaden the scope of dialogue regarding national and media-related issues with complete transparency.
He urged them to work toward outcomes that help steer Sudan into the future and to seize this opportunity to establish a robust media framework capable of meeting the demands of the current phase.
General Mufaddal reaffirmed the General Intelligence Service’s commitment to fostering dialogue with and among journalists at all levels—thereby contributing to the advancement of media work—and emphasized that dialogue is a vital principle for addressing issues and challenges.
He expressed the Service’s satisfaction with media performance over the recent period, noting that it had not resorted to the “sword of the law” in its dealings with journalists. He further pointed out that Sudan’s issues are not new, noting that the country is facing the worst war in its history, which has resulted in significant and multifaceted challenges.
Regarding the economy, Mufaddal noted that the results of economic policies do not materialize immediately upon their adoption but require time. He highlighted the importance of dialogue and consultation on economic matters and the need to overcome potential crises in this sector, thereby supporting economic stability.
