The leader of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo said yesterday that his war against the army was not over and his forces would return to Khartoum despite being largely driven out of the capital.
It was Dagalo’s first comment since the RSF were pushed back from most parts of Khartoum last week by the army in the latest development in Sudan’s devastating two-year-old war.
Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, conceded in an audio message on Telegram that his forces had left the capital last week as the army consolidated its gains.
“It’s true that in the past few days there was a withdrawal by forces [from Khartoum] to reposition in Omdurman. This was a tactical decision made by the leadership. It was a collective decision,” Dagalo said.
However, he vowed to return to Khartoum ‘stronger, more powerful and victorious’.
