The head of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, on Tuesday accused SAF leader Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan of attempting to assassinate him and his brother four days ago.
In a video statement posted to Telegram, Dagalo vowed to keep fighting, rejecting any negotiations with “those who kill their people by air” or refuse to recognize their “crimes.”
He warned SAF troops in Port Sudan against launching attacks from al Obeid and northern Sudan, saying RSF forces are “ready to move at any time.”
Dagalo also accused Port Sudan’s junta of sheltering Islamic State members and said the war would not end until the “Islamic Movement” — referring to the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood — was eliminated.
Dagalo added that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard continued to arm the SAF and alleged Ukrainian fighters were also involved in the conflict. He further accused Eritrea of supplying Burhan’s forces with fighters and weapons.
He urged civilians in al Obeid and northern Sudan to stay home and avoid military areas as clashes intensify. Dagalo also said RSF forces had retaken the towns of Dibeibat in South Kordofan and Al-Khuwei in West Kordofan, calling it a “great victory” and claiming to have destroyed 70% of Burhan’s “Sayyad” combat unit.
