The commander of the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, stated that his forces are prepared to fight for decades in their confrontation with the army, warning that his fighters remain stationed on the outskirts of the capital, Khartoum.
In a speech delivered to a group of soldiers at an undisclosed location on Wednesday evening, Dagalo said, “We do not want this war to continue, but if they (the army) continue it for 40 years, it will continue until they are uprooted.”
Dagalo added that “elements of the Rapid Support Forces have not left the capital, which the army recaptured in March 2025,” indicating that these elements “are still stationed on the outskirts of Omdurman, on the opposite bank of the Nile River from central Khartoum.”
Khartoum, which had experienced relative calm since the army regained control, has been subjected to several attacks in the past two weeks. A drone strike last Saturday killed five civilians in a car in southern Omdurman, while another attack last week damaged a hospital.
