Press statement

In continuation of its pattern of destroying public and private facilities and targeting civilian infrastructure in the country, the terrorist Daglo militia yesterday, Monday, set fire to the Sahel and Sahara bank tower in Khartoum, resulting in it burning completely.

The armed forces would like to point out the expansion of violations of international humanitarian law by the terrorist militia to include all kinds of war crimes against civilians and protected and civilian infrastructure which calls for its classification by regional and international organisations as a terrorist organisation.

The tower is one of the main icons of the capital and hosts headquarters for a number of private and public companies in addition to the Sahel and Sahara bank.
