Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, has said that the battle against SAF “will end very soon.” In an audio message, Dagalo denied accusations of killing prisoners and urged SAF officers to join what he called “the people’s choice” movement.
He claimed his forces lack heavy weaponry such as tanks, artillery, or warplanes, and only possess some of these after seizing them from the army. Dagalo underlined he is not fighting the SAF itself but “remnants of the former regime controlling decision-making within it,” accusing Abdel Fattah al-Burhan of initiating the war.
He vowed to continue combat “until the last soldier” and pledged to bring democracy to all Sudanese, framing the conflict as both defensive and political. The RSF leader ridiculed Burhan’s escape from the General Command to Port Sudan, calling it “an evasion of the battle,” and criticised broken promises by the army commander.
Meanwhile, fighting resumed on Tuesday around the Armored Corps camp in Al-Shajara, south of Khartoum. Eyewitnesses reported smoke rising from the camp as loud explosions echoed, signalling renewed clashes between Burhan-controlled SAF and RSF forces across surrounding neighbourhoods.
Clashes also intensified in the old residential districts of Omdurman, where residents described heavy fighting and rising fear among civilians amid the escalating urban battle.
