A new and significant wave of defections hits the Rapid Support Forces (RSF): 280 fighters from Darfur arrive in Khartoum, and prominent leaders join the Sudanese army

🔴 A large military group of 280 members defects from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and arrives in Khartoum with all their military equipment, coming from the Darfur region.

🔴 The arrival of this heavily armed military force in Khartoum represents a new and powerful blow to the cohesion of the RSF in the regions.

🔴 The defection of the force from Darfur is part of an escalating wave of defections and successive collapses plaguing the RSF’s internal ranks.

🔴 An RSF field commander apologizes to the Sudanese people for the violations and calls on fighters to return to the army, citing “racism and the absence of a cause” as the reasons for his defection.

🔴 The defection of prominent leaders, including Daifallah Adam and Faris Al-Nour, widens the scope of the internal collapse within the RSF across various fronts.

🔴 Field commanders like “Al-Hawira” continue to join the ranks. The “Doma” and Kikal’s move to the army reflects a structural breakdown and an accelerating drift of leaders and forces towards the military establishment.
