JEM leader says his forces prepare to fight RSF
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Finance Minister Gibril Ibrahim, head of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), strongly criticized the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and disclosed that his forces are preparing to wage war against them in al-Jazirah state.

Speaking at a rally in Port Sudan
...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...
, Ibrahim condemned the RSF’s attacks and accused them of pursuing a destructive agenda that threatens the entire nation. He rejected their claims of supporting democracy, characterizing them as a force intent on harming the people.

By attacking the central Sudan state "The RSF’s actions expose their true intentions," Ibrahim declared. "Their project is not aligned with democracy or any other noble slogan."

The JEM leader’s statement comes amid general mobilization by the army to retake several states from the paramilitary forces. The army leaders said their campaign would start by al-Jazirah which the RSF seized in mid-December 2023.

Ibrahim, along with Minni Arko Minawi of the Sudan Liberation Movement, decided to abandon neutrality and join the army in this conflict.

He expressed his belief that the situation in Sudan is unique and has been influenced by international and regional actors. He further characterized the situation as incompatible with the nature of the Sudanese people.

"This situation is unprecedented, orchestrated by regional and global powers," he asserted. "It represents a perversion of the true character of the Sudanese people," he said referring to the war crimes and systematic looting practiced by the RSF elements.

#1 Nothing new. Ibrahim in November 2023 announced that the JEM would participate in the 2023 Sudan war on the side of the SAF.
