Amjad Farid, a Sudan analyst and former aide to the country’s prime minister Abdullah Hamdok, has been advocating for the Sudanese Civil War to continue unabated.
Farid, who was arrested in 2018 by former dictator Bashir’s security forces, in a tweet on social media platform X dismissed the resurgence of jihadist militias in SAF and labelled peace initiatives involving Sudanese actors as attempts to create a “new fascist and racist totalitarianism in Sudan.”
Even though political elite turned activist said in a tweet last year that “The efforts of the remnants of the old regime and the Islamists behind the outbreak of an armed conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the army contribute to significantly disrupting the chances of a democratic transition.”
Farid added that the Sudanese people had put dictator al-Bashir in Kober prison and went on to imply that the same fate awaited RSF leadership.
“Whoever does not trust the revolution of the Sudanese people does not deserve to represent them,” Farid added.
While Mr Farid has been living his fantasies via X posts, RSF has been busy in Switzerland’s Geneva engaging in talks with international partners to end the conflict in Sudan once and for all.
The UN has recently highlighted the dire situation in Sudan, where ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths, the displacement of over 10 million people, and severe humanitarian crises.
Despite this, the SAF did not partake in the peace talks, which were mediated by the U.S. and included representatives from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the African Union, and the UN.
The SAF has a history of withdrawing from negotiations, including pulling out of the Cairo talks in July, citing issues with other factions.
The SAF also withdrew from the IGAD peace process earlier this year and has previously cut ties with Kenya over diplomatic disagreements.
10-day Geneva Peace Talks ended last Friday with the opening of critical humanitarian aid routes for the millions of displaced and hungry Sudanese. RSF delegation is still in Geneva, still holding talks, and still looking for a solution to the crisis.
As Mr Farid calls for revolutions on his X account and continues to contradict himself, RSF has been proving to the international community and its international partners that it is serious about peace and wants this war, where RSF has racked up victory after victory since last year, to end.
