MILITARY ADMINISTRATION WANTS RSF TO JOIN THE ARMY
On April 15, clashes broke out in Sudan between the army led by the Sovereignty Council President General Abdulfettah al-Burhan and the RSF led by the council’s vice president, General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. Al-Burhan states that the RSF, which was established to fight the rebels, should join the army in order to prevent it from acting as an independent force, while Dagalo, the head of the RSF, argues that this should be done with a civilian administration.
