A rapid support forces, a paramilitary group that fought for power in the destructive civil war of Sudan, took a step towards the formation of her own government on Tuesday, when she hosted a lavish political event in the Centhia capital in Nairobi.
The deputy leader of the group, Abdul Rahim Dagalo, who is under US sanctions, welcomed hundreds of cheerleading people while arrived at a complex event, held at a state -owned Congress Center in the center of Nairobi.
Mr. Dagalo did not speak at the event, and the promised charter was supposed to open the way to the parallel government in the RSF control areas was not signed. Officials said they needed three more days to negotiate the conditions of the charter with Abdel Aziz al-Hilu, the leader of the other Sudanese rebel fraction, which was sitting next to Mr. Dagal.
The meeting was a moment of striking symbolism for the RSF, which was only formally charged with genocide last month, and comes to the background of transfer of battlefields in Sudan, as well as a torrent of US change of foreign policy and developing in the Allies in the region.
The Sudanese army has achieved a series of victories on the battlefield in recent months, pushing RSF from the key areas in Cartum, the capital and in the central Sudan. The RSF hopes that he will end that losing string and enhance his request for power, forging the Government for a significant part of the country he holds.
In the amphitheater, it was covered with Sudan flags, where the fan people in white turbans filled the entire ranks, the speakers broke through against the army and spoke of their desire to forge a “new Sudan”.
“We need a new Constitution and to compose a new social contract that will solve the multi-year question of how Sudan is managed,” said Mr. Al-Hila, who runs the faction of the liberation movement of Sudana’s liberation movement with consecutive Sudanese governments for decades from his base in the mountains Nuba, in southern Sudan.
Other speakers praised the RSF as a pro-democratic movement and flashed pictures of Lieutenant Mohamed Hamed, a group leader, on a giant screen to loud cheerleaders. Sudan reports, however, spoke about fresh beasts by the group.
Activists and Sudan officials have accused RSF fighters of killing more than 200 people, including infants, during a brutal three-day attack on two villages in White Nil, south of the country. Some were shot as they tried to escape across the Nile River, according to emergency lawyers, a group that controls the conflict.
In a statement, Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs set the number of deaths at 433.
Last week in the Darfur region in Western Sudan, the RSF fighters broke into the hunger camp in the besieged city of El Fasher in an attack that killed dozens of civilians, said help groups. Top Officer of the United Nations in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, said she was “shocked” violence.
Emergency lawyers also accused the Sudan army of “barbarian” attacks on civilians, including killings and forcibly disappearing, because the Allied fighters of RSF associates Khartoum.
The war broke out in April 2023. The war broke one of the greatest African countries and led to suffering to a great extent. The fighting caused tens of thousands of deaths, forced over 12 million people From their homes and they started the rapid spread of hunger, which is probably the worst in the world in decades.
Foreign assistance of President Trump deepened pain. Hundreds of kitchens with volunteer soup soup that fed over 800,000 people in Khartoum have closed in recent weeks, while US funding has dried.
On Monday, the United Nations appealed at $ 6 billion to respond to the crisis.
Whether the RSF plan to create their own government will succeed, it is uncertain, as even acknowledged speakers at an event on Tuesday. Sudan has a long history of fragile peace agreements that quickly “crashed and then returned to war,” Mr. Al-Hilu said to the gathered.
However, the RSF retains the constant financial and military support of its main foreign supporter, the United Arab Emirates, which seems determined to ensure that his Sudanese Proxy does not lose the war, said several foreign officials who spoke about the state of anonymity to discuss sensitive sensitive assessments.
On February 8, the military chief of the Sudanese army, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan told political leaders in Port Sudan that he also intended to create a new government. He would consist of “independent people”, led by a new civilian prime minister, he said.
If the RSF Charter still happens, it could be a turning point in the war, hardening divisions and dividing the country into a rival region, which Libya was divided after the overthrow of Colonel Muammar al-Qadafi 2011.

That the RSF was able to launch its political project at the Nairobi State Congress Center in Nairobi, doubts among Sudanese officials that Kenya effectively chose a side in the conflict.
