Al-Burhan expressed appreciation for the significant roles played by the family of Sheikh Ali Beitai in the field of Da’wah and guidance, stating that all of Sudan attests to the greatness of the Beitai family, which contributed to spreading the teachings of religion, teaching the Quran, and instilling national education in society, noting that Sudan is preserved by the prayers of the sincere and righteous.

Al-Burhan expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the people of Hamshkoreib for their warm reception and generous hospitality, stressing the necessity of rallying around the pillars of national unity and rejecting discord and division.

In Aroma, Al-Burhan was received by Nazir Mohammed Al-Amin Turk, the general overseer of the Hadandawa tribes, the region’s leaders, and crowds of citizens who rushed to receive him and offer congratulations in a spontaneous scene.

Al-Burhan congratulated the citizens on the blessed Eid al-Fitr, praising the efforts of the people of the East in supporting and assisting the armed forces and fighting alongside them in the same trench for the sovereignty and unity of Sudan and the integrity of its territories.
