The armed forces in Sudan have warned of movements by the Rapid Support Forces to “mobilize forces and open up inside the capital and some cities,” without the army’s approval or coordination with it.

Its risks are increased by the Rapid Support Forces leadership mobilizing forces and opening up inside the capital and some cities.”

And the statement continued: “Our esteemed citizens. The attempts of the armed forces to find peaceful solutions to these transgressions have not ceased, in order to preserve public tranquility and not desire an armed conflict that destroys everything and everything, because these openings and the repositioning of forces contradict the tasks and work system of the Rapid Support Forces, and in it A clear transgression of the law and a violation of the directives of the central and state security committees, and its continuation will inevitably lead to more divisions and tensions that may lead to the breakdown of the security contract in the country.
