RSF Force Defects to Sudanese Armed Forces

A force from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, led by commander Musa Khamsin, joined the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) on Tuesday in the presence of commander Al-Nour Ahmed Adam (Al-Nour Al-Qubba) and a number of army and intelligence officers. Al-Nour Al-Qubba said the force comprises several commanders and personnel, along with a number of armed vehicles. He said the group arrived in Al-Dabba, Northern State, on Monday before proceeding to Khartoum. He welcomed the force’s decision to join the SAF, praising the state leadership, armed forces and supporting forces for receiving personnel returning from RSF positions and facilitating their reintegration. Musa Khamsin said they had decided to return to the army and the nation, adding that other groups were preparing to follow suit. He called for unity and said fighting under the RSF banner serves neither the Sudanese people nor Sudan’s interests.He stressed that their objective is to serve within one army and one nation and contribute to moving Sudan from war toward stability.BH/BH
