The army pointed the finger at the RSF for mobilising troops to key strategic sites in the capital of Khartoum and the RSF claimed it was just responding to the army's alleged plot to seize full power with Bashir loyalists. Nevertheless, negotiations looked hopeful with a final deal due to be signed earlier this month, before a new phase of fighting broke out on April 15. The plan was to get Sudan to a point where civilian parties would have control over the military, which the RSF would be dissolved into.īut there has long been tension surrounding the details of this arrangement, namely the proposed timeline - the army wanted the integration complete in two years but the RSF insisted on waiting 10. The Sudanese people and the international community continued to push for a new transition to democracy after the coup. Sudan was left with the army's general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, as Sudan's de facto ruler and the RSF's general Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti, as vice-president. The north African country saw more than two years of power-sharing between the military and civilian leaders but a coup brought this to an end in October 2021.
This was supposed to precede Sudan’s transition to a democratic government, a move backed by western nations. The paramilitary group, which was originally created by dictator Omar al-Bashir to crush a rebellion in the western region of Darfur, cooperated with the army to overthrow the autocrat in 2019. The current fighting is the result of a power struggle between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
