    🇸🇩 A plane downed in Sudan’s North Darfur, reportedly crewed by Russians, was supplying the army with weapons, according to the opposing Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The incident reveals the complex supply chains fueling Sudan’s 18-month conflict, with foreign powers manipulating the war.

    🇸🇩 Sudan’s army reported the defection of senior RSF commander Abuagla Keikal, marking the first high-profile split since the conflict began 18 months ago. Keikal’s defection, according to the army, was motivated by the RSF’s “destructive agenda.”
