...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...ese army from the capital of North Darfur, El Fasher, and hand over control of the city to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
General Abboud Adam Khater, a member of the joint force’s command and control centre and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Gathering of Sudan Liberation Forces (GSLF), told Sudan Tribune: "The claims that we intend to remove the army from El Fasher, either through peaceful means or through force, are untrue. These are merely dense rumours spread by some parties."
He further elaborated: "While there are indeed individuals within the armed movements who hope for the RSF to take control of El Fasher, this matter has not been directly discussed, and those calling for the army’s withdrawal from the city do not have the authority to dictate the joint force’s actions."
Khater emphasized the joint force’s commitment to safeguarding El Fasher, a city filled with internally displaced persons. "We have directly informed the RSF and warned them against taking any action within El Fasher," he asserted.
Earlier reports had suggested that the joint force intended to expel the Sudanese army from El Fasher, either peacefully or through military means and that it had tasked Sudan Liberation Army- Minni Minawi (SLA-MM) Commander Juma Haqqar with communicating with the army and securing a peaceful withdrawal.
