Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ruled out any reconciliation with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in a video statement on Saturday in which he vowed to crush the group.



"We will neither forgive, nor compromise, nor negotiate," he said, reaffirming the military's commitment to restoring national unity and stability.



Burhan also said fighters who "repent to the truth" could still be amnestied if they lay down their arms, particularly those who are in rebel-held areas.



Earlier on Saturday, the army said it had taken control of a major market in Khartoum's twin city of Omdurman, which had previously been used by the RSF to launch attacks during a devastating two-year-old war.



The Sudanese army has also declared victory over the RSF in Khartoum, claiming control of most parts of the capital.
