Sudan Conflict Instigated by 'Remnants' of Previous Regime?General Mohamed 'Hemedti' Dagalo, commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in his speech repeated the paramilitary group's stance that the fighting that broke out between the RSF and the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in Khartoum on April 15, was instigated by "remnants" of the regime of Omar Al Bashir (1989-2019). Hemedti accused General Abdelfattah El Burhan, SAF commander president of the Sovereignty Council, Burhan of embarking on "foreign tours trying to impersonate the head of state, despite lacking legitimacy, and they intend to declare a government in part of Sudan". Earlier in September 2023, Hemedti stated that the RSF maintains a significant presence in Khartoum state, emphasising that they have "no intentions of seeking control over Sudan". The RSF's stance is not against the army, he said, but rather against what he referred to as the "remnants of the former regime".
