Cairo - (Masrawy):

The Sudanese military did not break up the sit-in in front of the army headquarters by force, but targeted an adjacent area that poses a threat to the security of the citizens, Sudan's transitional military council spokesman Lt. Gen. Shamsuddin Kabashi said in an interview with Sky News Arabia.

Kabashi added: "This morning, as part of the plan of the security forces concerned in Khartoum state to break up the gathering in the surrounding area in the geographically defined sit-in area, the security forces moved."

He continued: "There is a region called Colombia has long been the focus of corruption and negative practices that are contrary to the behavior of Sudanese society, and has become a major security threat to our citizens."

Lieutenant General Shamseddine Kabbashi noted that "the army, citizens and forces of freedom and change have agreed that this area represents a danger, and also affects the security of the rebels in the sit-in area, and accordingly, the relevant authorities decided to move towards this region, leading to the security and safety of society."

"We were in touch with the leaders of the Freedom and Change Caucus, where we told them about what is being arranged and what is going on in the disintegration of Colombia," the spokesman said.

Asked about the army's position on the calls of the forces of freedom and change for escalation, Kabashi stressed "did not break up the sit-in force, tents exist and young people move freely .. which was a military move outside the sit-in."

He continued: "As a stampede in the area of Columbia entered the sit-in, and many young people opted out of the sit-in, and still there in the region."

Regarding the possibility of the Sudanese army allowing the protesters to return next to the army headquarters, Kabashi said that the army does not mind that, adding: "We are not targeting the sit-in area and those who came out if they wanted to return, they have it. We targeted only the Columbia area."
