#1 So who is funding the Sudan army? Traditionally equipment has arrived from China and paid for by Iran. As for the RSF, "A 2019 investigation revealed that more than 1,000 vehicles – most of them Toyota Hilux pick-ups – were purchased from dealers in the United Arab Emirates, and later equipped with mounted weapons. The funds to purchase the vehicles were likely sourced from [RSF's] Hemedti’s vast gold mining operations in Sudan." However, this doesn't make sense as the gold mining occurs northeast of Khartoum and controlled by the government.
In fact, the UAE seem to be the primary RSF funding agents, but what they hope to accomplish in the Sudan is murky at best.

#2 Russia / Wagner is funding and supplying Sudan's Rapid Support Forces.

The coup countries across the Sahel (Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Chad, Sudan - particularly the former French Colonies) are getting support from Russia to break away from French Colonialism, and there are seen to kill more ISIS.

#6 The US Special Envoy to Sudan, Tom Perriello, issued a strong warning today...

LMFAO!! I bet the Sudanese are scared to death over this "strong warning" from the Harris Administration.
