High-Level RSF Commanders Defect to Sudanese Armed Forces in Nyala

On May 19, 2026, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) officially received Major General Al-Nour Ahmed Adam, the third-ranking field commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and Brigadier General Ali Rizqallah following their recent defections. Analysts state that these departures, triggered by internal tribal fractures and grievances over the RSF's assault on the Mahariya clan's home territory, are causing a measurable toll on the paramilitary group's battlefield cohesion following the fall of El Fasher in 2025.
