SAF hires thousands of foreign mercenaries

A Military source confirmed the death of the Commander of the Tigrayan Forces fighting alongside the Sudanese Army, explaining that the Commander of the mercenary force was killed during military confrontations on the Singa axis.

It is noteworthy that Tigrayans have been fighting alongside the Army since the beginning of the war, and the Rapid Support Forces had captured dozens of them during the battles and killed hundreds on several axes, especially in the battles of Al-Faw, Al-Suki, Singa and the Blue Nile regions.

Circulating photos showed that the late Tigrayan Commander was in the ranks of the Peacekeeping Forces before he rebelled against the Ethiopian regime.

Citizens in the city of Singa reported that battles took place on Thursday outside the city, during which the Rapid Support Forces defeated a force constituting of more than three thousand foreign mercenary fighters and forced them to retreat.
The sources confirmed that the situation in the city was calm on Friday morning, before the city’s residents were taken by surprise witnessing the withdrawal of the Rapid Support Forces on Friday evening without any battles.

A Military source shared that directives were likely to have been issued to the Rapid Support Forces to implement a war tactic, noting that the very same forces were present in areas within the borders of Sennar state.
