Background

Tensions arose between al-Burhan and Hemedti over al-Burhan's restoration to the office of old-guard Islamist officials who had dominated the Omar al-Bashir government. Hemedti saw the appointment of these officials as a signal that al-Burhan was attempting to maintain the dominance of Khartoum's traditional elite over Sudanese politics. This was a danger to the RSF's political position, as said elites were hostile to Hemedti due to his ethnic background as a Darfuri Arab. [8] Hemedti's expression of regret over the October 2021 coup signalled a widening divide between him and al-Burhan. [9]

Tensions between the RSF and the SAF began to escalate in February 2023, as the RSF began to recruit members across Sudan. [10] Throughout February and early March, the RSF built up in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, until a deal was brokered on 11 March and the RSF withdrew. [10] [11] As part of this deal negotiations were conducted between the SAF, RSF, and civilian leaders, but these negotiations were delayed and halted by political disagreements. [12] Chief among the disputes was the integration of the RSF into the military: the RSF insisted on a 10-year timetable for its integration into the regular army, while the army demanded integration within two years. [13] [14] Other contested issues included the status given to RSF officers in the future hierarchy, and whether RSF forces should be under the command of the army chief rather than Sudan's commander-in-chief, al-Burhan. [15]

On 11 April 2023, RSF forces deployed near the city of Merowe as well as in Khartoum. [16] Government forces ordered them to leave and were refused. This led to clashes when RSF forces took control of the Soba military base south of Khartoum. [16] [17] On 13 April, RSF forces began their mobilization, raising fears of a potential rebellion against the junta (TSC). The SAF has declared the mobilization as illegal. [18]

Establishment

On 15 April 2023, the RSF took over the headquarters of the state broadcaster, Sudan TV and the Merowe Airport, [19] the RSF attacked SAF bases across Sudan, including Khartoum and the Khartoum Airport. [13] [20] The RSF captured the presidential palace. [21] [22] Hemedti claimed that the RSF controlled most of the city's government buildings, but this was disputed by al-Burhan. [15] With that, the Rapid Support Forces took over there first territories.

Development between 2023 and 2025

Controlled areas and loss and takeover of more areas

The RSF started an occupation of the Khartoum International Airport on 15 April 2023, which lasted until 25 March 2025. Its control over the Merowe Airport ended after some days with the Battle of Merowe Airport. On 2 June 2023, the RSF got control over the National Museum of Sudan complex in Khartoum. [23] The headquarters of the Police Central Reserve Forces in Khartoum was captured by the RSF on 25 June 2023. [24]

Major takeover of areas however started on 4 August 2023, where the RSF took full control over all of Central Darfur. [25] In September of the same year, the RSF retreated from Um Rawaba in North Kordofan. Later that month, they tried to take over the town of El-Odeya in West Kordofan. [26] [27] On 6 October 2023, the RSF claimed to have seized control of Al-Ailafoon, 30 kilometres east of Khartoum, [28] and established positions in Al-Bashaqra, Wad Rawah, and Al-Aidij in Gezira State. [29] The SAF however denied that the RSF took control of these areas and that they established positions. [30] The same month, the RSF captured various areas like Nyala and the headquarters of the SAF's 16th Infantry Division in the city, [31] [32] the Balila oilfield and its airport in West Kordofan, along with 15 SAF vehicles (The RSF withdraw from Balila after this.), [33] [34] the headquarters of the SAF's 21st Infantry Division in Zalingei [35] (other parts of Zalingei were already taken over by the RSF since August 2023), [36] the SAF's 6th Infantry Division in El-Fasher and also shelled the Al-Takrir neighborhood. [37] The next month, the RSF took over various areas like the headquarters of the SAF's 15th Infantry Division in Geneina, [38] the Shag Omar oilfield in Abu Karinka, East Darfur and attacked the Zarga Um Hadid oilfield in Adila. [39] Also, it took control of the Al-Nujoumi Air Base in Jabal Awliya (which the SAF denied), [40] a bridge in the area linking Khartoum and Omdurman, army base in Jebel Aulia, [41] the headquarters of the SAF's 20th Infantry Division in Ed Daein. [42] The RSF took over Wad Madani after the First battle of Wad Madani in December 2023 and occupied it until January 2025. The headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the SAF'S 1st Infantry Division in Wad Madani was also captured by the RSF following the takeover of Wad Madani, they also occupied the eastern entrance to the Hantoub Bridge. [43] [44] A major achievement of the RSF in December 2023 was the full occupation of the Gezira State. [45] The takeover of the town al-Hasaheisa in the Gezira State, [46] the town El Geteina [47] and of the town Habila in South Kordofan. [48]

In March 2024, the RSF took over El Medina Arab, Gezira State, and tried to reach El Managil. [49] The Wad al-Bashir Bridge in Omdurman was re-occupied by the RSF. [50] While this was a victory for the RSF, days before they lost the Doha neighbourhood in Omdurman to the SAF. [51] A victory for the RSF was the capturing of the town of Mellit, North Darfur, which cemented its hold over areas north of El Fasher in April. [52] In May the RSF had only small achievements like the re-occupation of Um Rawaba and of the Golo water reservoir west of El Fasher, which was recaptured by the SAF the next day. [53] [54] In July the RSF captured Al-Fulah, the capital of the state of West Korodofan. [55] While a victory for the RSF, the SAF re-took the Sennar Sugar Factory and the Jabal Moya area in the Sennar State days later. [56] After the re-take, the RSF began to advance into the Sennar State, taking over Jebel Moya and the capital Singa and there located headquarter of the 17th Infantry Division. [57] [58]

Another major achievement for the RSF which happened in June, was the occupation Mazmoum, Wad an-Nail, Suki and Dinder, and were advancing towards the border of South Sudan. [59] The SAF struck back and re-took the Doha neighbourhood and its surroundings in Omdurman [60] and later also recaptured Dinder from the RSF. [61] One day after the recapturing of Dinder, the RSF occupied Al-Meiram, West Kordofan. [62] [63] One day later, the RSF captured Dinder again from the SAF. [64] Later in July, the RSF seized the town of El Suki in the Sennar State and the villages of Al-Trirat Al-Kufa, Ibrahim Janqoh, Ku' Al-Nahl, Trira Madani, Al-Khalij, and Qaladima. [65] [66] In August the RSF claimed to have taken Gireiwa. [67] Days later, the RSF claimed to have recaptured Bunzuqa in Sennar State, while the SAF claimed to have seized Galgani and Al-Lukundi as well as Wad Fiqisha in Gedaref State. [68] The SAF also made advances in the El Doha Park neighbourhood of southwest Khartoum. [69] In September the SAF took back the southern hospital of El Fasher and village of Al-Shayqab. [70] [71] In the end of September, the SAF recaptured the Kadru suburb of Khartoum Bahri, the same day the RSF retreated from Geneina to reach Kulbus. [72] [73] One day later, the SAF reported that they reached the southern edge of Halfaya in Khartoum Bahri and that they also had recaptured the headquarters of the Zain telecommunications company in Al-Muqrin, Khartoum. [74]

In October the loses of the RSF became greater. On 2 October, the Darfur Joint Protection Force seized the Bir Mazza base, 28 kilometers north of Kutum, from the RSF, enabling them to take control over the tri-border area between Sudan, Libya and Chad. The joint force also destroyed RSF outposts at Wadi Hor, Wadi Ambar, and Bir Marqi, seized Wadi El Maghreb, north of Kutum, and forced the RSF to retreat to Damrat Ghereir, on the outskirts of Kutum. It also took full control over the road connecting Mellit with Al Dabbah in Northern State.

Governance

Aid

Hemedti announced in 2023 the creation of the Sudan Agency for Relief and Humanitarian Operations (SARHO) an aid agency of the RSF which operated in the areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces. [3] Foreign humanitarian aid in the controlled territory of the Rapid Support Forces only started one year later. [2]

Ban on fleeing

The RSF imposed a ban on residents of West Darfur from fleeing to the Republic of Chad with limited exceptions shortly after the takeover of the border post at Kereneik. [121]

Evacuation

On 7 October 2024, when the RSF began withdrawing from the East Nile district of Khartoum State, it ordered the evacuation of civilians from the Hilat Hamad, Hilat Khogali, and Al-Danaqla neighborhoods. [80]

Government buildings used by the RSF

The Rapid Support Forces used government buildings in Ed Daein and Nyala. [122]

Economy

Since the beginning of the civil war, markets with the name "Dagalo Markets" were found in different places like Kordofan, Darfur and the Khartoum metropolitan area, there are also common in the cities of west Sudan which is where the RSF had much power. Goods which were looted by the Rapid Support Forces, affiliated militias or criminal gangs are put on these markets by smugglers. Also, the opponent of the RSF, the SAF takes part of the "Dagalo Markets". [123] [124]

The Rapid Support Forces banned the new issued currency of the Republic of Sudan which was issued in December 2024. [1] [125]

The collapse of Sudan’s economy has benefited the RSF. In the RSF-controlled areas of Khartoum, it has created work structures that make an immiserated population dependent on the RSF. This political economy was seen as part of the RSF’s transformation from an irregular fighting force into an entrepreneurial system of predatory accumulation. [124]

Dissolution

On 18 February 2025, the Rapid Support Forces announced the establishment of a parallel government in exile. On the same day, a Sudan Founding Charter was issued to form the Sudan Founding Alliance. [126] [127] [128] After a postponement on 21 February, [129] [130] the Sudan Founding Alliance was founded on 23 February after an agreement was signed at 2am. [131] [132] [133] The next day, there were already disagreements between the different parties in the Sudan Founding Alliance. [134] On 4 March 2025, the Sudan Founding Alliance announced that it had adopted a transitional constitutional framework to pave the way for forming a rival "Government of Peace and Unity" to administer territory under the control of the RSF and allied groups. [135] [136] [137] On 8 March, the RSF announced that arrangements to form the "Government of Peace and Unity" were complete and plans to issue passports, official documents, and currency were being prepared. [138] On 15 April, the establishment of the parallel government was announced by Hemedti, the Government of Peace and Unity was formed on the same day. [6] [7] [139]
