Khartoum: A coalition led by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which is fighting for power in Sudan’s brutal civil war, has announced the formation of a new parallel government – further tearing the fabric of a fraying nation. In a video statement, the RSF named a prime minister and unveiled a sovereign council.
According to France24.com, this development comes amid ongoing conflict in the region, as the RSF seeks to consolidate power and establish legitimacy against Sudan’s existing government. The announcement marks a significant escalation in the power struggle that has gripped the nation.
In another incident, the Islamic State has taken responsibility for a brutal attack on a church in eastern DRC that killed at least 43 worshippers. IS claims that dozens of homes and shops were burned during the attack.
