Draeno Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 The Sudanese Army said today that it will not hold a dialogue with the Rapid Support Forces (FAR) if this paramilitary group, which has been confronting the Armed Forces since Saturday, is not dissolved beforehand, in clashes that are putting the African country on the verge of war. "There will be no negotiation or dialogue before disbanding and wiping out Hemedti's rebel militia," the Sudanese Armed Forces General Staff Presidency said, referring to FAR commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, alias Hemedti. The Sudanese Army described Hemedti in another statement as a "fugitive criminal", while they published an image of the paramilitary leader with the word "wanted" and called on the public to report his whereabouts. After the clashes that began this morning, the paramilitary has assured in interviews with various media that his intention is to bring the leader of the Sudanese Armed Forces, General Abdelfatah al Burhan, to justice, or else he will "die like a dog." These incendiary statements have further exacerbated tensions between the Army and the FAR, which continue to fight in Khartoum and other cities in the country, especially in the troubled Darfur region. Until now, the FAR have announced that they have taken control of several military airports in the country, while the Army assures that the situation "is under control" and that it has the capacity to finish off the paramilitaries "quickly", although it is taking time because the "rebels" are deployed in civilian areas. The start of the fighting is due to a unilateral mobilization of the FAR in Khartoum that began two days ago, according to the Army, a fact that sparked tension between the two main military leaders of Sudan and in the midst of a process to return to guide the African country in a democratic transition. https://www.elespectador.com/mundo/mas-paises/ejercito-de-sudan-exige-a-las-far-que-se-disuelvan-antes-de-cualquier-dialogo/
