RSF Commander Informs of Plans to End War in Sudan

The Commander of the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, announced on Friday that he discussed with UN’s Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, the situation in Sudan and the strategies to end hostilities and initiate negotiations that will address the root causes of the crisis, leading to the birth of a new Sudanese state.

Hemedti wrote on his X account that he briefed the Secretary-General on the current developments, emphasizing the severe violations committed by Burhan’s coup militia against innocent civilians.

He explained that the violations include aerial bombings, killings, ethnically motivated arrests, preventing humanitarian organizations from delivering aid to civilians and imposing restrictions on aid workers.

Meanwhile, following an unsuccessful attempt at the 41st IGAD summit last December to mediate between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) leaders, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) President, Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti has scheduled an urgent summit in Uganda on Thursday, January 18 to address the Sudanese situation and the Ethiopia-Somalia dispute.
