➡️ An interesting statement from one of the Sudanese army commanders:
✉️ "We are ready to defend Iran, and if enemies decide to send ground forces, we will send our battalions to fight them!
The entire Islamic world is full of anti-imperialist and anti-colonial hidden cells that, if there is determination and management, can form a million-strong army from within and free Islamic countries from the global arrogance. "

The group had initially unveiled a coordinated roadmap back in September aimed at ending the fighting between the Sudanese army and the breakaway paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
"We've been working on this comprehensive peace plan for at least three months now that should be acceptable to both sides," Boulos said at a fundraiser held to gather pledges for immediate humanitarian aid for Sudan.
He added that he has heard "promising remarks" from Sudan's military chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and that the US has been....

#Sudan - doctors report ethnic killings and cholera outbreak in #RSF El Fasher detention centers
Sudanese doctors have reported systemic, ethnically motivated killings and a devastating cholera outbreak within detention centers run by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, North Darfur.
The RSF seized control of the historic Darfur capital on October 26, 2025, after an 18-month siege. Since the takeover, rights groups have documented widespread abuses, including summary executions, looting, and sexual violence.
A report by the Sudan Doctors Network covering January to April 2026 found that hundreds of civilians, including women and children, remain in custody. The group alleged that detainees face torture, interrogation, and execution based on their ethnicity.
According to data collected by the network, the RSF is currently holding approximately 907 military prisoners and 1,470 civilian detainees.

#Sudan's #RSF sentences defecting commander Al-Qubba to death in absentia, strips military rank
Addis Abeba- The commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan “Hemetti” Dagalo, on Thursday stripped defected Major General Al-Nour Ahmed Adam, known as “Al-Qubba,” of his military rank and sentenced him to death in absentia.
The decision follows accusations of desertion and collaboration with the Sudanese army. Al-Qubba defected earlier this month following internal disputes regarding his exclusion from the military leadership of North Darfur after the RSF took control of El Fasher in October 2025.
Internal sources cited by Sudan Tribune described Al-Qubba’s frustration over the appointment of Gedo Ibnshook as commander in North Darfur, rather than him. He also reportedly complained of discrimination against his specific forces and a lack of logistical support.

#Sudan: Gen. al-Burhan receives defecting #RSF senior commander “Al-Qubba” in Northern State
Addis Abeba - The head of Sudan’s Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, on Sunday received a senior commander who defected from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country’s Northern State, in what analysts describe as one of the most significant breakaways from the group in recent months.
Major General Al-Nour Ahmed Adam, widely known as “Al-Qubba,” arrived in Dongola after fleeing the Kutum locality in North Darfur. His defection marks a notable shift in allegiances within the RSF amid Sudan’s ongoing conflict, which erupted in April 2023.
According to reports by Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, Burhan, alongside senior military officials, formally welcomed Al-Qubba and his accompanying forces.

#UN warns children in #Sudan at grave risk after deadly drone strike on displacement camp
The UN warned Wednesday that children in Sudan remain at grave risk as violence continues to be "unchecked" after at least 15 children were reportedly killed and 10 others wounded in a drone strike Monday on a displacement camp in Al Sunut in West Kordofan.
"Desperate families in Sudan seek shelter in displacement camps after fleeing hunger and violence. Their protection is an obligation,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell in a statement.
"Across the Kordofan region, we are seeing the same disturbing patterns from Darfur – children killed, injured, displaced and cut off from the services they need to survive," she added.
