The swift supporters, a paramilitary group over power in Sudan's catastrophic civil war, are set to form their own breakaway government when they held a gorgeous political event in Kenya's capital Nairobi on Tuesday. I took a step forward.
Abdul Rahim Dagalo, the group's assistant leader under US sanctions, was greeted by the cheers of hundreds of people who arrived at an elaborate event held at a state-owned convention center in downtown Nairobi. .
As Dagallo did not speak at the event, the charter of the promise was not signed, aimed at paving the way for parallel governments in the region managed by the RSF. Officials said three more days would be needed to negotiate the charter terms with Abdel Aziz al-Hil, another Sudanese rebel leader who sat beside Mr Dagalo.
The conference was a moment of RSF's remarkable symbolism, accused of genocide by the United States only last month, against the backdrop of the battlefield that will change Sudan, and against the rapidity of the evolution of the American foreign policy change and the alliance. Masu. region.
Sudan's army has recorded a series of battlefield victories in recent months, pushing the RSF out of the capital, as well as the Khartoum in Central Sudan, and key areas of Central Sudan. The RSF hopes to end the loss of the streak and strengthen its claims against rule by forging the government for the considerable countries it holds.
At an amphitheater covered in Sudan's flag, where men cheered in white turbans filled the entire line, speakers opposed the army and spoke about their desire to build a “new Sudan.”
“We need a new constitution and to create a new social contract that will resolve the lasting questions about how Sudan is governed,” the Sudan government is in the Nuba Mountains of southern Sudan. Decades since the base.
Other speakers praised the RSF as a democratic movement, flashing the image of group leader, Lieutenant General Mohamed Hamdan with loud cheers and loud cheers. However, the report from Sudan spoke of fresh atrocities by the group.
Activists and Sudanese officials accused the RSF fighters of killing more than 200 people, including infants, in a brutal three-day attack in two villages in White Nile province, south of the country. Some were shot dead as they tried to cross the Nile, according to emergency lawyers, a group that monitors the conflict.
In a statement, Sudan's Foreign Ministry set the death toll at 433.
Last week, in the Darfur region of western Sudan, RSF fighters attacked a hunger-hit camp in the besieged city of El Fasher in an attack that killed dozens of civilians, aid groups said. I stated. Clementine Nukuweta Salami, the top UN official in Sudan, said she was “shocked” by the violence.
Emergency lawyers also accused Sudanese troops of “wild” assaults on civilians, including killing and forcibly losing their force, while the allied fighters hunted Khartoum RSF collaborators.
In April 2023, the war broke out when the RSF began fighting in Khartoum, when the Sudanese army and leaders took power in a coup. The war has been torn apart by one of Africa's biggest countries, leading to suffering on a drastic scale. The fight caused the deaths of tens of thousands, forced over 12 million people from their homes, and caused a rapidly spreading hunger that could be the worst in the world in decades.
President Trump's freeze on foreign aid has deepened the pain. The soup kitchen, run by hundreds of volunteers who fed over 800,000 people at Khartoum, has been closed in recent weeks as American funds have dried up.
On Monday, the United Nations appealed $6 billion to respond to the crisis.
It is uncertain whether the RSF's plan to create its own government can be successful, as even speakers at Tuesday's event has been recognized. Sudan has a long history of fragile peace deals, which soon “collapsed and returned to war,” Al Hir told the crowd.
Still, the RSF holds solid financial and military support from its major foreign supporters, the United Arab Emirates. The United Arab Emirates stated that it is determined to ensure that Sudan's representatives do not lose the war, and a foreign official who spoke on the terms of anonymity assessed.
On February 8, General Abdel Fatta al-Burhan, the sudanese army chief, told Port Sudan's political leader he would also create a new government. It will consist of “independent people” and will be led by a new private prime minister, he said.
However, if the RSF charter passes, it would mark a turning point in the war, harden the sector and divide the country into rival regions, as Libya was divided in 2011 after the expulsion of Colonel Muammar Arqadhafi. You can do it.

The RSF's ability to launch a political project at the Nairobi State-Owned Convention Centre has reinforced doubt among Sudanese officials that Kenya has effectively chosen aspects of the conflict.
