Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Sudan's rapid reaction forces (special forces)
...known in English as Rapid Support Forces (RSF) ...
are ready to partially open airports to resume flights so that foreign citizens can safely evacuate from the country, according to a Sudanese special forces microblog.

The statement also says that the Rapid Reaction Forces are fully open for cooperation and coordination in order to create conditions that allow representatives of foreign diasporas and diplomatic missions to leave the African republic without hindrance.

As REGNUM reported earlier, Sudanese special forces supported a proposal for a 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire. The truce began on the morning of 21 April.

Fighting between special forces and the Sudanese army broke out on 15 April. On April 17, Sudanese army commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan accused the Rapid Reaction Force of mutiny and announced its dissolution .

#4  Former Janjaweed, as has been mentioned here before. So very extra special forces, highly trained in old-fashioned PPR (pillage, plunder, and rape).

#3  RRF aren’t special forces - they are one of the two sides in the civil war
