Sudan Conflict Updates: Army vs RSF


He’s referring to al-Fashaga district, which is ‘disputed’ between Sudan and Ethiopia, and started due to failure of demarcation 100+ years ago.

The district is de-jure part of Sudan, but been under Ethiopian control for decades, with Amharas settling in that rich agricultural land.

During the Tigray war, clashes happened between Ethiopian and Sudanese forces. Sudan finally took advantage of Ethiopia’s weakness and recaptured most of al-Fashaga district, while they were busy in Tigray.

Can’t blame Sudan :salute:

During the Tigray war clashes happened between Ethiopian and Sudanese forces a couple of time. Sudan finally took advantage of Ethiopia’s weakness and recaptured most of al-Fashaga district, while they were busy in Tigray.

As they should
:hahaidiot:
Who’s native to the land? Google said Amhara farmers recently arrived

I’m not really sure. Someone else here may know better than me. But I know that Ethiopians/Amharas have been living there for quite some time (in smaller number tho).

After the assasination attempt on Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in Addis 1995 (which was blamed on Sudanese president al-Bashir by supporting Egyptian Islamic Jihad), Sudan was pressured by both countries to leave its forces from the Egyptian disputed area of ‘Halaib triangle’ and Ethiopian disputed area of al-Fashaga.

In any case, since the 90s many Amharas have settled there, as it practically became ‘part of’ Ethiopia, due to annexation.

One thing America and UAE are afraid of is if there is Democratic voting, Sudan will choose ISLAMISTS and that is a big NO NO.

This conflict has been going on for a while.


in Oct 2021, ASudanese military delegation, which included Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, secretly visited Israel for meetings, reports revealed on Friday.

According to Israeli media, Israel's diplomatic channels between Mossad and Dagalo have angered Khartoum. The head of Sudan's Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and Head of Transitional Government, Abdullah Hamdok, reportedly viewed the unofficial channels as part of an attempt to undermine their authority.

Under pressure from the United States, Sudan joined the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco last year in agreeing to normalise ties with Israel - though it has moved slowly to implement the deal.

At the time, Sudan was desperate to escape the United States' State Sponsors of Terror list - a prerequisite for debt relief and support from international lenders.

For people who dont know who is General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, He is the head of
Head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF)

General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, a man close to the Isralies,UAE, Saudis and Russians is considered the real "strong man" of the country after he arrested former President Omar al Bashir.

How he became a War Lord then General

Coming from a Chadian Arab clan of the Rizeigat tribe, originally from Darfur, at the outbreak of war in Darfur, in 2003, Dagalo assumed command of the infamous Janjaweed militias ("demons on horseback"), who were responsible for heinous war crimes and against humanity, and became head of the RSF from 2013, when they were established as part of a restructuring of the former Janjaweed militias.

November 2017, Dagalo used his men to take control of gold mines in the Darfur region, which made him one of the richest people in Sudan. " Billions"

His brother Abdul Rahim, number two of the RSF, heads the company Al Junaid (or Al Gunade), involved in the extraction and trade of gold in Sudan.

Two RSF uses two front companies, the small information technology and security company GSK that is based in Sudan, and Tradive General Trading LLC, based in the UAE. Tradive is funnelling tens of millions of dollars in to and out of the RSF, at least partly in order to obscure the involvement of the militia. Hemeti’s brother El Joney Hamdan Dagalo is a director and an ultimate beneficial owner of Tradive.

The leaked RSF spreadsheet published by El Bashoum also reveals how the RSF bought a fleet of almost one thousand Toyota pick-up trucks – easily converted into highly mobile ‘technicals’ (armed desert vehicles) by welding mounted machine guns on to the back. These vehicles have been used by the militia to suppress popular uprisings around the country for over a decade.

A leaked RSF spreadsheet describes how the militia received over 150 million UAE Dirham ($40 million) ‘for technical support’ from an unknown source, and used over 111 million Dirham ($30 million) of that to purchase the vehicles and communications equipment from dealers in the UAE.

In 2015 it was Dagalo himself who sent - in agreement with the Sudanese army - his men to Yemen to fight alongside the Saudi-led coalition, a choice that allowed him to forge very close ties with the Gulf powers. Dagalo's other iron ally is Russia, in particular the Wagner paramilitary group.

In March 2022, the US charge d'affaires in Khartoum and the envoys of the United Kingdom and Norway - components of the so-called Troika for Sudan - strongly and openly condemned the presence and operations of the Wagner group in Sudan, mainly linked to disinformation and illegal gold mining (directly controlled by Dagalo and his family).

It is also worth remembering that "Hemeti" himself was in Moscow on the day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, February 24, to discuss with the Sudanese authorities the project to build a Russian military base which should be built in Port Sudan on the Red Sea.

Hemeti sits at the apex of a ‘paramilitary-industrial complex’. He controls both a large powerful military force, and an independent source of wealth”,
 
Mashallah if this is the case Sudan has great hope. There always needed to be flushed out and only possible unfortunately with clashes like this and a swift Sudanese army victory

The RSF are 100,000 strong, they might lose the captial but areas in the borders and other regions might fall to them.

The Sudan Army has a long way to go if it wants to defeat these guys once and for all.

They have to kill Hamdan thats the only way to get the Troops to stop fighting, as long as he is alive they will continue to fight for him or is brother

If they do not have the support of the population they have little hope of winning. They’ll have to negotiate eventually in a much weaker position. The initial quick attempt at a coup has failed.

I hope they can get to free elections afterwards and a civilian government that isn’t handpicked

No free elections because America, UAE, and Egypt are afraid of a Islamist Rise.

Sudan will be run by Burhan i wonder what happens to the Russian Relations.
