Sudan RSF Splinter Group Formed
The Sudanese authorities announced the defection of two factions of the Rapid Support Forces, comprising 21 commanders and 270 individuals, and their joining the Sudanese Army amidst the ongoing conflict between the two sides since April 2023. The statement indicated that these factions, numbered 55 and 47, which consist of 37 combat vehicles, were attributed to the armed forces to support them, while calling on other Rapid Support Forces elements to join the armed forces and lay down their weapons. This development comes a day after the appointed Governor of West Kordofan, a region favoring the Rapid Support Forces, announced his resignation and defection amid escalating divisions and disagreements within the Rapid Support Forces. These forces have been engaged in ongoing clashes with the army since late October 2026, a conflict that has resulted in thousands of deaths and displaced 13 million people, according to the United Nations.
