Rapid Support Commander Defects and Calls for Troops to Leave
In recent weeks, Sudan has witnessed a series of defections within the Rapid Support Forces, as a number of commanders and members of those forces have joined the Sudanese army, amid worsening military conditions and escalating conflict between the two sides. The most recent of these defections was announced by a support force commander named Al-Tayeb Al-Wahidu, who declared his split from the militia and his joining of the armed forces, calling on other elements to return home and dissociate from the militia, emphasizing that there is no issue worth continuing the fighting over. These defections occur amid ongoing battles between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, which have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of around 13 million people, with the humanitarian crisis in the country persisting.
