Tasnim News Agency- Ahmed Berouye; An expert on North African issues- “Mohammed Hamdan Deghlo” known as Hamidti, the commander of the rapid support forces of Sudan and one of the parties to the civil war in this country, has significantly increased his activities in the international arena over the past month. In this regard, Hamidti went to Uganda on December 27, the day after that to Ethiopia, December 31 to Djibouti, January 3 to Kenya, the day after that to South Africa and on the 5th In January, he traveled to Rwanda and during these trips he met and talked with the leaders of these countries. During these trips, Hamidati also met with the grandson of the last Sultan of Darfur in Kenya and signed a memorandum of understanding with one of the groups in Ethiopia. Sudanese politician signed. Hamidti’s regional and international campaign in the African continent is taking place after the rapid support forces of Sudan were able to attack the city of Wadmadani (the second largest city in Sudan) in the last days of last year and capture large parts of the city and drive the army from this city. drive the city out.
Although the Sudanese army dominates the government institutions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the security institutions of this country and also has the Sudanese air force, the experience of the last nine months of the civil war in Sudan has shown that This organization has not performed well against the Sudan Rapid Support Forces and despite its aerial and even numerical superiority, it has not been able to completely clear the capital from the Rapid Support Forces or even disrupt the supply lines of the Rapid Support Forces effectively. As a result, we see that government institutions and offices as well as representatives of countries and international organizations have practically moved to the city of Port Sudan. On the other hand, the superiority of weapons, agility and military strategy of the rapid support forces that The basis of lightning battles has led to the fact that these forces had many successes in the field, but they were also unable to consolidate their achievements in the field.
The attack on the city of Wad Madani and the expansion of the circle of war to the areas that were previously considered peaceful, as well as the attempt to attack the border areas with Ethiopia, especially the strategic area of Al-Qadarif, can be considered as one of the signs of the change in the course of conflicts during the last month. This change of trend actually shows that the rapid support forces are gradually pushing back the Sudanese army and by entering the island province (as one of the economic pillars of Sudan) and approaching the border with Ethiopia (as one of the (Hamidati’s potential supporters) are improving their position and hitting the economic and political situation of the army.
These victories provided a suitable ground on which Hamidti could use the international campaign to improve his position and The reception of Hamidti at the level of the presidents (while he was officially dismissed by Burhan after the start of the war) shows that a large part of the effective African countries have changed their view of the Sudanese conflicts and consider the Sudanese conflict not a conflict between The government and militias consider it a rebellion, but a conflict between two parties (equals) within the government. In the shadow of the passivity of Burhan’s supporters and the active support of Hamidati’s supporters, this may lead to a change in the course of the war in Sudan.
Conclusion
The war in Sudan has entered a critical phase in recent days, and it seems that if the current trend continues, the war will enter a new phase of increased tension. Although it seems that the majority of Sudanese people (for ethnic and social reasons as well as looting, murder and rape) are against the rapid support forces, the popular support for the army has also been passive and only out of fear of chaos. Hamidati’s international campaign is also considered to mean increasing international support for him and weakening the legitimacy of the army.
