...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
and a major constituent of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), is facing growing internal divisions due to a public rift over the RSF’s expansionist ambitions in the ongoing war.

The crisis intensified over the past two months as the RSF unveiled plans to consolidate control over their homeland Kordofan region, prompting a backlash from prominent Misseriya figures who oppose bringing the fighting to their territories despite the presence of many tribal members within the RSF ranks.

A prominent Misseriya leader, who wished to remain anonymous, told Sudan Tribune, "There is a widespread consensus within the tribe against the RSF’s control of Diyar Misseriya areas in West Kordofan state.

#1 "The leader attributed the [Misseriya] tribe’s resistance to the RSF’s history of human rights
abuses and widespread violations against civilians in areas under its control." Baloney. The RSF is led by African Muslims; the Misseriya are Arab (cattle nomad) Muslims. The RSF has moved to eliminate Arab influence in South Darfur and now South Kordofan. In addition it has invaded the Blue Nile, a homeland of Arab Muslims. In effect, the homeland (Dar) of the Misseriya is now threatened.
