KHARTOUM, Sudan
In a decree issued on Sunday
by Sudanese army leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, relieved Major
General Osman Mohamed Hamid Mohamed, Major General Hassan Mahjoub Al-Fadel
Abdel-Hamid, Brigadier General Absher Gibril Balayel, and Brigadier General
Omer Hamdan Ahmed Hamad from their positions.Major General Hamid Mohamed was in charge of military operations in the Rapid Support Forces
On April 16, al-Burhan ended the assignment of army officers seconded to the RSF and ordered them to return to their respective armies.
However, the four generals
disobeyed the order and continued to serve in the paramilitary force.
The four dismissed generals held crucial positions within the RSF command structure. Major General Hamid Mohamed was in charge of military operations in the Rapid Support Forces, Major General Al-Fadel Abdel-Hamid served as the director of the RSF Commander’s office.
Brigadier General Balayel led
the mobile forces that closed Sudan’s border with the Central African Republic
in January, and Brigadier General Ahmed Hamad is currently heading the RSF
negotiating team in the Jeddah negotiations.
When the leader of the former
regime established the RSF, he decided to second over five hundred officers to
train and manage the paramilitary force, which was initially designed to combat
rebel groups across the country.
Earlier this month, Hemetti
stated that he had been betrayed by 480 army officers who were tasked with
training his forces shortly after the conflict with the army began.
He mentioned that only four
generals remained loyal to him.
The fighting between the
regular army and the RSF in the Sudanese capital has entered its fifth week,
with neither side appearing to achieve a clear victory.
Meanwhile, the international
community is working towards bringing the two sides to sign a humanitarian
truce.
In a separate development,
al-Burhan dismissed the Governor of the Bank of Sudan and froze the accounts of
the RSF and its affiliated companies in Sudanese banks.
In a brief decision, al-Burhan
relieved Hussein Yahya Jangoul from his position as the Governor of the Bank of
Sudan and appointed his deputy, Burai al-Siddiq Ahmed, as the new governor.
