A civil war in Sudan has led to a power struggle between two rival generals, resulting in over 150,000 deaths. The paramilitary RSF announced a new civilian-led government in Nyala, introducing a presidential council with RSF commander Hemedti as president. Rebel leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu serves as vice president, while Mohamed Hassan al-Taishi is appointed as prime minister. This move counters the internationally recognized army-led government and raises concerns about potential further fragmentation and conflict undermining diplomatic resolutions.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced the formation of a rival civilian-led government, raising fears of permanent division in Sudan amid ongoing civil war.
A 15-member presidential council was announced with RSF commander Hemedti as president and SPLM-N rebel leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu as vice president.
The RSF aims to establish a secular 'New Sudan,' seeking international legitimacy and advanced arms imports while challenging the army-led government.
UN officials warned that the RSF's formation of a parallel government risks further fragmenting Sudan and undermining diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
