🖊️Khalaf Allah Alobaid Hussien

On the fourteenth day of each year, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the proud Sudanese people celebrate Army Day.
On this glorious day, the Sudanese people stand with pride and honor to salute the heroes of the Sudanese Armed Forces, the nation’s impregnable shield and sharp sword, who wrote with their blood and sacrifices the most wonderful pages of glory and dignity. Sudanese Army Day is not just a celebratory occasion; it is a day of loyalty and gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives in defense of land, honor, and national sovereignty.
Since its inception, the Sudanese Army has remained a symbol of courage and bravery, writing epics on the battlefields and standing as an impregnable barrier against all those who attempted to undermine the homeland. Its heroic deeds have spanned decades, protecting the homeland and its borders, preserving its security and stability. The Sudanese Army is considered one of the strongest levers of national unity, embodying the true meaning of national unity. It brings together the nation’s sons from all regions and tribes, working side by side under the banner of Sudan. They are not divided by race or distance, but rather united by a common belief: protecting and defending the homeland.
On Army Day, we remember the nation’s martyrs who rose in the fields of honor and sacrifice. We send messages of love and appreciation to every soldier and officer who continues to stand in the fields of honor and sacrifice, believing that protecting Sudan is a sacred trust and responsibility.
To the heroes of the Sudanese Armed Forces, you are the protectors of the homeland and the guardians of pride. We salute and appreciate your priceless sacrifices. The people will always support you, just as you have always been their fortress. Your holiday will remain a day of pride and honor in the hearts of all Sudanese.

O protector of the border, our heroic soldier!
On your holiday, glory and hope soar.

A Sudan in which all free people are proud.
And the earth bears witness that we will reach the heights.

We will march forward, and your vision is the path to victory we will follow.
As long as your loyalty to the covenant burns,
Your banners are ablaze, and the dew in our hearts is full.

Paradise and eternity to the righteous martyrs.
A speedy recovery to the wounded and injured.
May God release the captives.
Long live the Sudanese Armed Forces.
And long live Sudan, free, proud, and proud among the nations.
