The Deputy Commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Abdul Rahim Dagalo, announced in a video clip yesterday (Wednesday) the move to take control of all Sudanese states and all army sites in the country, according to what was reported by the Arab World News Agency.

The Rapid Support Forces published the video clip on the “X” platform from inside the 21st Division in the city of Zalingei, Central Darfur.

Dagalo earlier called on the Sudanese army commander, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, to surrender to his forces, which he accused the army of bombing from the air in Zalingei, central Darfur.

Daglo attacked Al-Burhan, saying: “You have nothing left... There is no army to fight.” You are now defending the general command from inside the basement, and every day we are advancing and we will take it over from you.”

The day before yesterday, the Rapid Support Forces announced the seizure of the 21st Division, the army headquarters in the city of Zalingei, the capital of Central Darfur state. Dagalo said that the army forces attacked it with munitions from an Antonov plane.

Daglo called on Al-Burhan to “raise his hand” from the armed forces. He also called on those he described as elements of the former regime within the army to surrender to his forces.

Sharif Muhammad Othman, a leader in the Forces of Freedom and Change - Central Council, said yesterday that negotiations between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in Jeddah to stop the war may become complicated due to the “Rapid Support” control over new areas in Darfur.

Othman said in statements to the agency: “The extension of the war and its scope, and the Rapid Support Forces’ seizure of larger areas in different states in Sudan, would complicate the negotiation.”

The day before yesterday, the Rapid Support Forces announced their control of the army headquarters in the city of Zalingei, the capital of Central Darfur state, a few days after they took control of the 16th Division headquarters in the city of Nyala in South Darfur state, which is the second largest Sudanese city and the army command center. In the western states.

Othman stated that “the Rapid Support’s seizure of states and military garrisons in the Darfur region does not create a state of stability in the region.” He pointed out that the region witnessed during the last period “tensions and serious violations in which (the Rapid Support) complicit and some of which were committed in the city of Kutum” in North Darfur state.

He added: “Therefore, (Rapid Support) is not qualified to be a factor of stability in the Darfur region, due to old and inherited social conflicts.”

He expressed his belief that “the control of any party in any region is not a factor of stability, but rather a factor of divisions.”

Last Thursday, negotiations between the army forces and the Rapid Support Forces, which began in Jeddah in May under Saudi-American auspices, resumed and succeeded in reaching a number of short-term truces.

Fighting broke out between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in mid-April after weeks of tension between the two parties, while the military and civilian parties were putting the final touches on an internationally supported political process.
