Sudanese Forces to Establish Government of Peace and Unity

The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces are set to sign a charter with allied political and armed groups to form a 'government of peace and unity' in areas they control. This move has sparked controversy as the Sudanese army condemns the attempt to create a parallel government.

The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are preparing to sign a significant charter with allied political and armed groups. This charter aims to establish a 'government of peace and unity' within territories currently under RSF control, according to insiders al-Hadi Idris and Ibrahim Mirghani.

The RSF, which has gained control over most of the western Darfur region and parts of the Kordofan region during a nearly two-year conflict, faces strong opposition. The Sudanese army is actively resisting the RSF's advances and condemns this move towards forming a parallel governing body.

As the RSF seeks to bolster its authority through this controversial charter, the political landscape in Sudan remains tense. Critics argue that the establishment of a separate government by the RSF could further destabilize the region, as the Sudanese army is determined to maintain control over central Sudan.
