The head of Sudan's army, Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, announced Monday that he fled the capital Khartoum during a large military operation as the bloody conflict in the northeast African country enters its fifth month. During a rare public speech in the coastal city of Port Sudan, Burhan said the military operation which enabled him to flee Khartoum's army headquarters included naval and air forces, adding that no agreement had been reached “with the traitors or with any party outside of the Sudanese people” to facilitate his departure from the capital.
