A defected minister reveals details of the “complete collapse” within the militia ranks and the failure of its political fronts Ahmed Bakar, a defected leader from the Rapid Support Forces militia and former Minister of Finance in East Darfur State, confirmed on Monday, May 25, 2026, the existence of a deep internal rift and a state of collapse currently plaguing the militia’s leadership ranks. He pointed out that the escalating internal disputes have led to the disintegration of the central leadership and clear confusion in managing their military and political affairs. In an exclusive interview broadcast on Al-Zarqa TV, Bakar painted a grim picture of the situation in Al-Deain, describing it as “tragic” amidst unprecedented lawlessness. He stated that widespread chaos and armed robbery have taken hold, placing citizens’ lives in constant danger due to the absence of any authority capable of enforcing the law or controlling the escalating lawlessness. The defected commander emphasized that the so-called “founding government” promoted by the militia has completely and effectively disintegrated, asserting that it is nothing more than a facade lacking any tangible impact or legitimacy on the ground. Bakar added that these entities are completely incapable of managing crises or providing services to citizens, and he considered this incapacity a strong indicator of the imminent collapse of the militia’s project. These statements, stemming from firsthand experience, reveal the frustration and disarray plaguing the militia, amidst frequent reports of widening defections and declining field control. This reinforces the conviction that the structures the militia attempted to build to legitimize its presence are no longer able to withstand internal divisions and field pressure.
