200 RSF Fighters Defect to Sudanese Army in Omdurman
A force of 200 paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters, led by an intelligence commander, defected to the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) on August 31. The defecting unit arrived in Omdurman with full combat equipment. This incident follows a wave of desertions in August, including high-profile commanders and over 300 fighters on August 19, signaling increasing internal pressure and potential fragmentation within the RSF ranks as the civil war continues.
