| This headline has been approved by the Department of Redundancy Department [SUDANTRIBUNE] The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) political advisor Youssif Ezzat has raised the prospect of targeting states that have declared their allegiance to the Sudanese army and have mobilized their youth to join its ranks. The protracted conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has entered its fifth month without a lasting ceasefire agreement between the two factions. The Sudanese army trains young people in combat skills to participate in battles against paramilitary forces and sets up training camps for thousands of volunteers across the country’s central, northern and eastern regions of the country. The RSF has earned a notorious reputation due to its involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity against civilians in Khartoum and Darfur, including murder, rape, theft, car hijacking, and occupying homes. The political advisor for the RSF leader told Sudan Tribune that if the war persists, their forces might reconsider its policy of abstaining from attacks on the other regions, where military training camps are established to train volunteers to fight the paramilitary forces. "Who is currently spearheading the operations on the ground, following the deployment of the Special Operations Forces directed by Islamic leaders," Ezzat inquired. "Can al-Burhan halt the war in the army’s name or in the name of those mobilized volunteers? And do these fighters belong to the armed forces or are they backers of the former regime?" He further questioned.
