About

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), also known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), are a paramilitary force that has been involved in Sudan's ongoing civil war and power struggle since 2023. The SAF is led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who has been accused of human rights abuses and atrocities. Recent events include attacks on hospitals, markets, and schools, resulting in the deaths of over 60 civilians, including children. The conflict between the SAF and other factions has escalated in recent months, with reports of mass killings, sexual violence, and attacks on aid workers. The international community has condemned these actions, calling for an immediate end to the fighting. The SAF's involvement in the conflict has significant implications for regional stability and humanitarian efforts in Sudan.
