In a dramatic escalation of violence in Sudan, paramilitary forces loyal to General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan have declared a rival government following their takeover of the capital, Khartoum. This development further complicates an already volatile situation and raises concerns about the future of the country. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), one of Sudan’s most powerful military factions, seized control of several key buildings in Khartoum on Saturday, leading to clashes with loyalist forces. The RSF has since established a new governing council and issued statements outlining their intentions for Sudan’s future. The declaration of the rival government comes amidst ongoing tensions between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), which have been locked in a power struggle since April. The situation remains volatile, with limited progress made towards peaceful resolution.
