The democratic transition. It is important to establish a National Guard (on the American model) to be an intermediate force between the army and the police.

In this regard, we must benefit from all the internal experiences that have been accumulated and the experiences of advanced countries to unify these disparate numbers, by training and organizing them and accommodating those who meet the conditions of health and physical fitness to form a single strong army. It is also important to amend and reformulate all laws and regulations to keep pace with the establishment of the army on democratic and civilian foundations, and in a way that gives every Sudanese the right to join it, regardless of his religion or ethnicity, and preserves the peace agreements that have been put in place, if they succeed, so that peace and stability prevail.

A national defense strategy must also be prepared, in which external threats are accurately identified, as well as ways to achieve strategic balance with neighboring countries that are militarily superior to us, and a specific timeline for this must be set. It will also be imperative to expel all foreign militias and irregular military formations from the country (the Russian Wagner Group, the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army, remnants of ISIS, pockets of global jihadist movements, etc.) and to work, as soon as possible, to remove them from the country after peace is achieved, in coordination with the UN forces present in Sudan. Defense plans must also be prepared according to strategic threats to the country, the recovery of occupied territories, the achievement of border security, the security of resources and strategic locations, and the establishment of a supreme national policy in line with the concepts of comprehensive national security.

Means and tools for reform: To achieve these goals, means are necessary, starting with the individual, the environment, and then the equipment. And at the beginning:

1. Restructuring: Restructuring begins with the establishment of a joint command authority under the supervision of a commander-in-chief, a chief of staff, and his deputies for operations, training, administration, and logistics, and then the organization of the armed forces, which consist of the infantry, navy, air defense, navy, aviation, etc., and the necessary colleges and academies for training and qualification for each of them, and priorities for construction, equipping, and preparation to form integrated joint units are given.

* All integrated forces and their camps are placed under the command of trained and qualified officers from the armed forces. * Establish a National Guard as reserve forces and intermediate forces between the army and the police. * Establish an independent military judiciary and an inspectorate general to guarantee the enforcement of military law and the correct application of all the details mentioned above.
