Sudan Mourns the Loss of Major General Bahr Ahmed in Mysterious Plane Crash
The Death of General Bahr Ahmed Raises Questions Over Foreign Influence and Military Politics.
Watan-Grief has descended upon Sudan following the death of Major General Bahr Ahmed, one of the most prominent leaders of the Sudanese army, in a mysterious military plane crash.
The incident has sparked widespread controversy among Sudanese citizens, especially since Major General Bahr was a central figure in the recent battles against the “Rapid Support Forces” and was known for his firm stance against foreign interventions, particularly the role of the UAE in Sudan.
Major General Bahr Ahmed was a distinguished military symbol, having started his career after graduating from the military academy, where he stood out for his sharp intellect and leadership abilities. His name became prominent in several critical battles, such as the Battle of Abu Kershula, where he showcased his strategic skills in planning and combat.
General Bahr Ahmed: A Resilient Leader and Symbol of Sudanese Military Strength
Despite being captured for years, he was released and continued his struggle within the army, becoming one of the key field commanders who contributed to shifting the balance of power in favor of the Sudanese army.
Major General Bahr was not only a military leader but also held political and ideological influence within the army. He was among the first to warn of the threat posed by the “Rapid Support Forces” and their leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemeti). He was also outspoken in his rejection of the UAE’s influence in Sudan, which has led some to question whether his bold views played a role in the tragic incident.
In 2019, Bahr Ahmed was accused of attempting a military coup and was arrested until 2022. Upon his release, he returned to a country engulfed in war. He did not wait long before he resumed leading the battles, this time without an official decision, but he imposed himself on the battlefield and led the army through major transformations, making him a symbol of resilience and counterattack.
With his death, the Sudanese army loses one of its most prominent military leaders, and the question remains: Was the plane crash simply an accidental incident, or are there hidden hands behind it? As speculation grows, the legacy of Major General Bahr Ahmed remains etched in the memories of Sudanese people who view him as the architect of victories in the army’s battle against the “Rapid Support Forces.”
