In a statement in the early hours of Thursday, the army said the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) was moving into the northern city of Marawi as well in a “clear violation of law” that risked creating more tensions and a security void as Sudan was going through what it described as a “dangerous juncture”.
The RSF said in a statement on Twitter that it deploys across the country as part of its duties and that its deployment to Marawi was part of its “national forces operating within the framework of the law, and in full coordination with the leadership of the armed forces”.
