Key lines from Burhan speech

Besides saying that Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was staying at his house, Burhan made several other wild assertions during a nearly hour-long speech in Khartoum, including that:

• The military had not carried out a coup, but was instead trying to rectify the path of the transition.
• The armed forces ousted the government to avoid civil war.
• The armed forces gave all concessions possible to achieve Sudanese dreams.
• Prime Minister Hamdok was being kept away for his own safety, and that he was carrying on a normal life.
• He said that the emergency would be scrapped as soon as institutions are formed.
• The incoming government will have no typical politicians.
• Judicial bodies will be formed in the coming days.
• The new legislature will include young people from the revolution.
• The internet will return gradually.
