ANSWER: Sudan Armed Forces [or Sudanese army, military forces of Sudan, SAF, Al-Quwwat al-Musallaha as-Sudaniyah, or equivalents; accept General Command; accept Republic of the Sudan or Jumhūriyyat as-Sūdān in place of “Sudan”; prompt on army or military by asking “of what country?”; prompt on Transitional Sovereignty Council, TSC, Transitional Military Council, or TMC until “Transitional” is read; prompt on Sudan’s (transitional) government or equivalents; reject “Sudanese People’s Liberation Army”]
