The army-controlled Sudanese government in Port Sudan is using oil pipeline revenues to fund military operations against the Sudanese people, a top adviser to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leader said on Tuesday.
Dr. Mostafa Mohamed Ibrahim, an adviser to RSF chief Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, told Erem News that his forces would not allow the practice to continue.
Dismissing accusations by the Port Sudan-based junta that South Sudan is supporting the RSF, Ibrahim called the claims “baseless” and an attempt to “divert attention from the crimes committed against civilians in Al-Jazira.”
He asserted that Juba has provided no material or military support to the RSF and said South Sudan is focused on diplomatic efforts to end the war.
Ibrahim accused the military-controlled Sudanese government of obstructing peace due to a “lack of political will.”
On the oil issue, Ibrahim said that revenue from Sudan’s pipeline agreements is being used to purchase weapons and ammunition, warning that the RSF “will not stand idly by.”
He also hinted at a forthcoming plan to restructure oil transport arrangements after a new government is formed, stating that the RSF expects to play a role in the next administration. The goal, he said, is to end war financing and redirect resources to serve the Sudanese people and restore stability.
