Sudanese Government Condemns U.S. Sanction Against Burham
By: Michael Mike
Sudanese Government has condemned the sanction by the United States on the President of the Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), General Abdel Fattah al-Burham.
The condemnation was contained in a statement on Thursday by the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The statement signed by the Ministry’s Office of the Spokesperson and Media Directorate, read: “The Government of Sudan rejects and condemns the sanctions imposed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on the President of the Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan
“This decision lacks the basic principles of justice and objectivity, relying on implausible pretexts. It also reflects a blatant disregard for the Sudanese people, who stand firmly united behind General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan as a symbol of their sovereignty and armed forces, and as a courageous leader in the battle for dignity against the terrorist janjaweed militias.
“It is both strange and troubling that such a dubious decision comes shortly after the U.S. administration determined that the RSF militia are committing acts of genocide in Sudan. Consequently, the administration’s move, days before the end of its tenure, to sanction the Commander-in-Chief of SAF, who is protecting the Sudanese people from this genocidal design, reflects inconsistency and a profound failure to uphold justice.
“This flawed decision cannot be justified under the guise of neutrality, as it practically amounts to support for those committing genocide.”
The statement added that: “This unethical decision will not deter the Sudanese people in their struggle against the terrorist militia. It will neither weaken their resolve nor their unity in eradicating this cancer from their land, so that Sudan will emerge stronger than ever.”

Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum has sympathised with his Niger State counterpart, Mohammed Bago, over recent flood disaster in Mokwa Local Government Area.
During a visit on Tuesday at the Government House in Minna, Zulum announced the donation of N300m to support victims of the disaster.

Zulum noted that the donation is to complement the efforts of Niger State government in addressing the challenges of the disaster.
Zulum while also extending the commiseration of the entire people of Borno to the government and people of Niger State over the devastating effects of the flood which claimed many lives and destroyed properties and livelihoods, urged all the subnational governments to work collectively to mitigate the impact of climate change on societies.

Responding, Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago expressed his appreciation to his Borno State counterpart for the visit and donation, saying it was timely and a show of love.
The Governor also observed that Borno and Niger States have many things in common and applauded the doggedness, pro-activeness, perseverance and love of Borno State Governor, which he said has kept him on his toes.
Bago reassured that the donation would be utilised properly, even as he said lots of advocacy is ongoing on the need for people to stay away from coastal lines to avert reoccurrence.
Zulum was accompanied on the visit by Senator Mohammed Monguno, members of the House of Representatives, Engr Bukar Talba, Hon. Abduljadir Rahis and the Deputy Speaker of Borno State House of Assembly, Engr Abdullahi Askira.
In a separate visit, Governor Zulum extended his condolences to the Government and people of Adamawa over the death of Professor Jibrin Aminu, who passed away recently in Abuja, describing Professor Aminu as son of Borno State, noting his contributions to the development and growth of education in the State and Nigeria at large.
Zulum’s entourage includes Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, a business mogul and Chairman of Oriental Energy.

In response, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri thanked the delegation for the visit and described Prof. Jibril Aminu’s death as a great tragedy not only for Adamawa but the nation as a whole.

Vice President Kashim Shettima has commissioned the 375 tractors belonging to Borno State Government which have been fully refurbished by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) under the National Assets Recovery, Refurbishment and Redeployment Project (Asset Restore Project).
The event was held on Sunday at the Borno State Agricultural Mechanisation Authority (BOSAMA) headquarters in Maiduguri.

VP Shettima commended Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, stating, “My greatest commendation to the Governor of Borno State for his commitment to providing leadership in the state.”
Vice President Shettima also praised NASENI for its commitment to enhancing Nigeria’s agricultural productivity through innovative infrastructure support under its asset restoration programme.
“We have seen NASENI at work, playing critical roles in our interventions in compressed natural gas (CNG) retrofitting, renewable energy technologies, and agricultural mechanisation. We are reminded more than ever that we can’t create durable Nigerian solutions to Nigerian problems unless we localise global technologies and relevant agencies must be supported to point us towards a stable nation and a promising future,” the Vice President said.
Speaking earlier, Governor Zulum acknowledged the Vice President’s numerous interventions in the agricultural mechanisation of Borno during his tenure as Governor of Borno State from 2011 to 2019.

He said, “Let me bring to the kind notice of this gathering that these tractors were procured by my predecessor, Senator Kashim Shettima, when he was the Governor of Borno State. He procured 1000 tractors and their implements.”
The Governor added, “He did not stop at that, but he also procured 250 units each of groundnut diggers, fertiliser broadcasters, rotovators, bailers and 25 units of combined harvesters. At a time when it would have been politically safe to focus only on short-term interventions, he chose instead to make a long-term investment in the future of our people.”
Speaking separately, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari and the Vice Chairman/CEO of NASENI, Khali Sulieman Halilu, commended Governor Babagana Umara Zulum for the leadership he has provided.
