Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo met with Libyan Prime Minister of the National Unity Government Abdul Hamid Al-Dabaiba in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Thursday.
Dagalo and Dabaiba engaged in talks centered on the persisting conflict in Sudan, in which Dagalo provided perspectives on the root causes of its emergence and the entities accountable for its escalation.
Dagalo presented the vision of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to Dabaiba, outlining plans to cease the conflict, foster peace and stability, alleviate the suffering of Sudanese people, and reconstruct Sudan on fair foundations.
The RSF leader provided a thorough perspective on the humanitarian situation, highlighting the challenges faced by Sudanese citizens due to the lack of humanitarian aid, leading to famine in particular areas.
Dagalo highlighted the significance of employing innovative methods for intervention to aid those in need, expressing appreciation to Dabaiba for his understanding of the Sudanese crisis and RSF’s perspective.
Sudan has since April 15, 2023 been plunged into a civil war pitting army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan against RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
The conflict has resulted in a devastating toll, with over 12,190 casualties and the displacement of more than seven million people, according to estimates by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project and UN figures, respectively.
Mediation efforts have faced significant obstacles due to deep-seated animosity between the rival factions. Despite Burhan’s administration continuing to issue statements as Sudan’s government, Dagalo’s Rapid Support Forces assert control over Khartoum’s streets, Darfur, and a substantial part of Al-Jazira, once Sudan’s vital agricultural region.
