Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF)

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) are the national army of Sudan, currently engaged in a violent civil war against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This conflict, ongoing for nearly three years, has intensified recently, particularly in the Kordofan region, which has become a new epicenter of fighting. The SAF has announced retaking the city of Bara from the RSF. However, the conflict has spilled over Sudan's borders, leading Chad to close its border due to repeated violations. The SAF's Foreign Minister claims the government is protecting Africa from foreign interference in the war. The conflict is characterized by drone attacks causing civilian casualties and accusations of war crimes against the RSF by the UN. The US is also taking action against the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood, designating them as a terrorist group. The SAF's actions and the overall conflict are of significant international concern due to the humanitarian crisis, regional instability, and potential for wider geopolitical implications.
