The ongoing conflict in Sudan has raised critical questions about the leadership and management of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), particularly under Commander Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo. As the war stretches on, the lack of clear institutional and political references reveals a chaotic power structure that is being exploited by various regional and international interests.
The RSF, which was initially expected to swiftly subdue the Sudanese army, has instead become a complex entity with multiple agendas. The war, which began on April 15, 2023, has spiraled beyond its original objectives, now serving the ambitions of the Dagalo family and other external actors.
The disintegration of the military institution in Sudan has led to a power vacuum, creating opportunities for political forces that view the Sudanese army as an obstacle. Meanwhile, tribal conflicts in regions like Darfur further complicate the situation, as local leaders mobilize their communities against perceived threats.
