Cameron Hudson comments on Nairobi meeting

Cameron Hudson, a well-known U.S. intelligence man whose name has been linked to the Sudanese file and the prominent right-winger at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), commented on the announcement of a number of Sudanese Political entities of the formation of the so-called “Government of Peace and Unity”, which will ally with the Rapid Support Militia. (Janjaweed).
Hudson believes that the Rapid Support Militia is trying to make political gains at the negotiating table after failing to achieve any military victories.
The militia has recently incurred heavy losses, as it has lost control of strategic cities such as Singa, Medani, and most of the Gezira state, as well as large areas in the capital, Khartoum. Therefore, the militia is seeking to strengthen its political stance to compensate for its field setbacks and the escape and killing of most of its members, and it has become little powerless. But he asserts that Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” is not the successor of Haftar, and the Rapid Support Militia lacks the organization and structure of the Libyan National Army (LNA).
Hudson’s analysis highlights the transition of the Rapid Support Militia from military confrontation to political maneuvers, in an attempt to compensate for its field failure.
