Sudan’s army has launched a major offensive in the capital, Khartoum, in an attempt to retake control of areas held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF, which is loyal to ousted President Omar al-Bashir, has been accused of committing numerous human rights abuses since Bashir was overthrown in April.
The offensive comes amid ongoing tensions in Sudan, with protests erupting in the streets as civilians demand a civilian-led government. The RSF has been accused of violently suppressing these protests, leading to further unrest and bloodshed in the country.
The army’s offensive is a significant escalation in the power struggle between the military and paramilitary forces in Sudan. The outcome of this conflict will have far-reaching implications for the future of the country and the prospects for a peaceful and democratic transition.
As the situation in Sudan continues to unfold, the international community must closely monitor developments and urge all parties to engage in dialogue and find a peaceful resolution to the crisis. The people of Sudan deserve a government that respects their rights and upholds the rule of law, and it is essential that the military and paramilitary forces are held accountable for any abuses they commit.
