Sudan's Hemedti committed to de-escalate, ready to meet with army chief Burhan- statement

The leader of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti, has committed to de-escalate and is ready to meet with head of the ruling Sovereign Council General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, a statement by a group of officials including leaders of other paramilitary groups said on Friday.

The RSF began redeploying units in the capital Khartoum and elsewhere amid talks last month, military sources told Reuters at the time. Tension escalated on Thursday after it moved some of its forces near a military airport in the northern city of Merowe in a move that the army said happened without its consent.
