KHARTOUM – Authorities in Khartoum State have announced new measures to tighten control over the movement of members of Sudan’s regular security forces, including the deployment of military police at entry points, crossings and bridges to monitor violations and reinforce public security.
The measures were announced after the 11th meeting of the Khartoum State Committee for Security Control and the Enforcement of State Authority, chaired by Interior Minister Lt. Gen. Babiker Samra Mustafa and attended by representatives of security agencies and military formations.
According to the committee, the meeting reviewed the performance of specialized security bodies and reaffirmed the continuation of plans aimed at strengthening stability and consolidating state authority across the capital.
Brig. Gen. Fath Al-Rahman Mohamed Al-Toum, head of the committee’s media office, said the committee responsible for clearing Khartoum of military formations reported that coordination between the Joint Forces and other regular forces had been fully established.
The committee also said the overall security situation in Khartoum remains stable. Lt. Gen. Siraj Al-Din Mansour Khalid, head of the Central Operations Committee, said security patrols and search operations continue across several localities. He added that authorities had registered 4,792 criminal cases and arrested 2,820 suspects during the reporting period.
He said security operations also include the removal of illegal settlements, protection of strategic sites, installation of surveillance cameras in several areas and the continued operation of the Emergency Police hotline (999).
On vehicle recovery efforts, the committee said authorities had recovered and impounded 15,728 vehicles across Khartoum State, urging owners of missing vehicles to contact the relevant authorities to reclaim them through legal procedures.
The committee responsible for removing illegal settlements said it had carried out more than 4,600 clearance operations and issued 15,561 notices. Another committee overseeing the presence of foreign nationals and refugees said it had detained and deported a number of foreign nationals in accordance with applicable laws.
The authorities also said they would continue publishing updates on the committees’ work while countering what they described as rumours and misinformation.
The measures come as the Sudanese government seeks to re-establish administrative and security control in Khartoum following months of military operations that enabled the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) to regain control of most of the capital from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Authorities have since launched campaigns to restore public services, recover stolen property and strengthen law enforcement.
