The Presidential Assistant, Nafie Ali Nafie has said that the battle of Heglig incapacitated the South Sudan’s army and sent a strong message to traitors and outlaws that the people of Sudan would never compromise their land.
Addressing a mobilization of the Battaheen tribe members who came to Khartoum aboard a long convoy of vehicles to express their backing to the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) to repulse aggression against the country, Nafie said the Battaheen tribe gathering is a message to those who underestimate the might of the Sudanese people.
The Chief of the Battaheen tribe, Khalid Mohamed Siddiq, said the tribe would continue to support the army, saying large number of tribe youths would be recruited in SAF to defend the motherland.
The Presidential Assistant received a pledge from tribe members that they would continue supporting the army.
