, casting the country’s transition to democracy into doubt.
The RSF claimed to have seized the presidential palace, army chief’s residence, state television station and airports in Khartoum, along with the northern city of Merowe, El Fasher and West Darfur state. The army rejected their assertions. By the end of the day, the military issued a statement ruling out negotiations with the RSF, instead calling for the dismantling of what it called a “rebellious militia”.
The disagreement has delayed the signing of an internationally backed agreement with political parties on a transition to democracy. The RSF has accused the army of carrying out a plot by loyalists of former strongman President Omar Hassan al-Bashir – who was ousted in a coup in 2019 – and attempting a coup itself.In 2019, the RSF and the army worked together to overthrow al-Bashir, who ruled for 30 years., with military and civilian groups agreeing to a power-sharing deal.
Mr Hamdock signed a controversial deal with the coup leaders a month later which reinstated him as leader, triggering widespread pro-democracy protests in which the military firedThe protests eventually led to the resignation of Mr Hamdok in January 2022, leaving the military in full control.
