Egypt Daily News – A leader in the Rapid Support Forces, the Deputy Commander of the Rapid Support Forces, General Abdelrahim Daglo, confirmed that the Rapid Support Forces “are not finished yet,” pointing out that they have a “strategic reserve of fighters,” claiming they have “one million soldiers.” Daglo threatened to attack the Northern State, stating that the Rapid Support Forces had been fighting in non-strategic areas, but now they would focus on more important and influential regions.
Withdrawal from Khartoum On Sunday, Rapid Support Forces leader Mohamed Hamdan Daglo (Hemeti) acknowledged for the first time that his forces had withdrawn from Khartoum, which the army announced on Thursday that it had regained full control over.
Hemeti also noted that the withdrawal of the Rapid Support Forces from Omdurman was for repositioning purposes, affirming that the war is still in its early stages and is far from over, according to his statement.
The Sudanese army made unprecedented progress in the Sudanese capital. After a week of regaining control of the presidential palace from the Rapid Support Forces, the army on Friday secured full control of Khartoum.
These developments came after the battle for the palace, which broke out last week, marked a turning point in the confrontation between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, paving the way for the army’s control over most of the strategic sites and government institutions in the capital, as well as securing control of Tuti Island.
Since April 2023, the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces have been engaged in a conflict that, according to the United Nations and local authorities, has resulted in more than 20,000 deaths and the displacement and refuge of about 15 million people.
It is worth mentioning that Abdelrahim Daglo had been in the Kenyan capital Nairobi in recent months following the signing of the Sudanese Founding Charter with armed movements, political parties, and civil administrations to form a parallel government in Sudan, which is currently being prepared.
