RSF rejects involvement of other parties

RSF rejects ;The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has welcomed the U.S. invitation and expressed readiness in taking part in the negotiation. However, in a statement that is an apparent response to the SLM calls for inclusion in the talks, the RSF said it won’t accept to take part in a ceasefire talks that involves others besides the SAF. It did not indicate if they were referring to the SLM, but it comes after the SLM statement calling for inclusion.

“The Rapid Support Forces will only negotiate with the Armed Forces and will not allow any other Sudanese institution to be involved in the negotiations or talks to stop the war and ensure humanitarian access. It reaffirms its position that there is no government in Sudan today due to the October 25th, 2021, coup and the subsequent constitutional breakdown caused by the April 15th war.”

The second point was referring to a matter of protocol, namely, whether the delegates sent from Port Sudan are to be identified as representatives of the “Government of Sudan,” or merely as representatives of the “Sudan Armed Forces.”

In its statement, the RSF also alluded to the political demands that it intended to make at the talks, saying:

“Any ceasefire negotiations must be linked to a humanitarian process that alleviates civilian suffering and a political process, led by the democratic civil forces, that results in dismantling the Islamist system and addressing the root causes of Sudan’s wars and ultimately leads to building a new Sudan based on democracy, social justice, and equality without discrimination.”

The RSF frequently portrays itself as an enemy of the “Islamists” of the former regime led by long-time dictator Omar al-Bashir, though the RSF was a fierce defender of that regime and only adopted anti-Islamist rhetoric after the Sudanese popular uprising of 2018-2019, which toppled Bashir and ushered in a brief era of civilian rule.
