KHARTOUM, Sudan
A member of the Transitional Sovereign Council in Sudan, General Shams al-Din Kabbashi, accused two neighbouring countries of providing military support to the Rapid Support Forces (SRF).
International and regional
organisations have called for an immediate end of the fighting in the capital
Khartoum between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary forces. They also
called for non-external intervention that may prolong the suffering of civilians.
In a telephone interview with
Al-Hadath and Al-Arabiya TV channels on Tuesday, Kabbashi said that the RSF
received supplies and weapons from one and the other sought to support them
unsuccessfully.
“We have confirmed information
that two neighboring countries are providing support to the Rapid Support
Forces, one of which is located in the west”.
Two planes delivered
ammunition and supplies that were transported to another area. In addition,
there was another attempt to land a third plane at Merowe airport, according to
Kabbashi.
Without naming the countries
involved in the ongoing war in Sudan, he hinted that the support came also from
non-state armed actors who have sufficient autonomy and power.
“We regret that some countries
carry out these actions, even if they are carried out by groups not under the
control of those countries. The state is responsible in one way or another for
the actions of its citizens, even if they are rebellious”.
He further disclosed that the
two planes of western Sudan, in fact, “landed in a border area outside of Sudan
and transported goods and supplies to a location within Sudanese territory.”
Chad and the Central African
Republic are two countries that border Sudan in the west and southwest.
Experts and observers have
warned against regional destabilization as there are already armed conflicts in
Libya and the Central African Republic and a fragile government in Chad between
them. - SudanTribune
