Sudan's transitional military Council has confirmed that it would continue deploying Sudanese troops to Yemen as part of the Arab coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthis group (Ansar Allah).
General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the deputy chief of Sudan’s new Transitional Military Council, known as Himeidti, said in statement after a meeting with crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman: "Sudan is standing with the Kingdom against all threats and attacks from Iran and Houthi militias,"
"I am fully prepared to defend the land of the two Holy Mosques in the framework of legality, and the Sudanese forces will remain and remain in Saudi Arabia and Yemen and we will fight for this goal," he said in a statement issued by the military council in Khartoum.
Thousands of Sudanese soldiers have been fighting in the ranks of the Saudi-led Arab coalition forces in Yemen and have been carrying out military operations since March 26, 2015 against Houthi forces that control the capital Sana'a and most of the densely populated northern Yemen since late 2014.
There is no statistics on the number of Sudanese troops killed or wounded in the fighting in Yemen, as the Sudanese army is silent on the number of dead and wounded and prisoners in this war, while the Houthis claim that they are hundreds.
Recently, Sudanese voices called for the withdrawal of troops from Yemen and return to their country after the losses suffered in the fighting there.
It is reported that the new head of the Transitional Military Council, Abdulfattah al-Burhan, has coordinated the dispatch of Sudanese soldiers and oversaw the forces that fought in the coalition and has close ties to senior military commanders in the Gulf by virtue of his responsibility for coordinating Sudan's military role in the war.
According to reports, most of the Sudanese ground forces in the war in Yemen are followed Maj. Gen. Mohammad Hamdan Dagalo, deputy chairman of the Council of the Rapid Support Forces.
After four months of protests, the Sudanese army leadership announced the removal of President Omar al-Bashir, who ruled the country for 30 years and formed a "transitional military council" that he would take over for two years.
