The RSF and the Sudanese Army
Since its independence in 1956, Sudan has suffered 16 attempted coups. Six have been successful and 10 have failed. In 2019, the long-time dictator of the country Omar Al-Bashir was overthrown by the military. Since then, Sudan has been run by a Council of Military Generals. The effective leader of Sudan is General Abdel Fatah Al-Baron,. His deputy, General Mohammed Hamdan Daggalo, otherwise known as Hemeti, is the leader of the Rapid Support Forces. These two powerful figures have strongly disagreed about the future direction of Sudan.
