R.S.F. in Sudan Declare Parallel Government Amid Assault on Zamzam Camp
Briefly

The Rapid Support Forces (R.S.F.) in Sudan announced the formation of a new government while simultaneously intensifying their military offensive in Darfur. This escalation has resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of residents from the famine-stricken Zamzam camp, with reports of significant casualties and widespread suffering. The R.S.F., claiming inclusivity in their governance, controls much of western Sudan, juxtaposed against the military’s grip on the north and east. Amidst high-minded promises, their violent actions starkly contrast with the rhetoric, deepening the humanitarian crisis and fears of a divided nation.
The R.S.F. leader, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan, announced a new government that he claims reflects Sudan's diverse ethnic makeup, despite ongoing violence against civilians.
The recent offensive by R.S.F. has forced hundreds of thousands from their homes, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Darfur during a declared famine.
