Drone Sudan draws war dangerous new areas
The paramilitary drone strike, which targets Sudan’s war -time capital, has sought to shatter the security spirit of the regular army and open a dangerous new chapter in the war, saying experts.Since April 2023, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has been in war with the group, which has recently removed some areas and disorganized paramilitary from the capital Khartum.The latter appeared before Sunday, when the drone strike began to destroy the major infrastructure in Port Sudan, which is the army -backed government seat on the Red Sea Coast.Since then, with daily attacks on the city, RSF has sought to demonstrate its strength, defam the army, disrupt its supply lines, and project an air of legitimacy, with experts.According to Sudani analyst Kholud Khair, “It aims to reduce the ability of the army to provide security and protection, which they control”, allows RSF to expand the war “without being physically there”.For two years, paramilitary mainly rely on Lightning Ground Offensives, heavily for army rescue in Vijay’s cruel operations.But after losing almost all the Khartum in March, the RSF has changed rapidly into long distance aerial power.Using weapons, the army states that it was supplied by the United Arab Emirates, killing hundreds of kilometers (miles) away from its holdout posts on the outskirts of the capital.Research Fellow Michael Jones at the Royal United Services Institute in London says that the RSF axis “strategic adaptation” and “not frustration, then the requirement” is a matter of both.
Strategic shock:
“The disadvantage of Khartum was a strategic and symbolic blow,” he explained to AFP.According to Sudani analyst Hamid Khalfalflah, the RSF needed to transmit a “message that has not ended”.The conflict between Sudan’s real leader, Army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Boron and his former deputy, RSF commander Mohammad Hamdan Daglo has divided Africa in two.The army holds the center, north and east, while RSF controls almost all of the vast western region of Darfur and with its colleagues, parts of the south.Khalfallah told AFP, “It is unlikely that the RSF can take Khartum again or reach the port from the port Sudan, but drones enable them to create a feeling of fear and unstable cities”.With drones and light sages, it can “reach areas that do not successfully infiltrate”, Jones said.According to a retired Sudani General, RSF is known to use two types of drones-Light models with a maximum mortar round that explode on effects, and long-range drones that are capable of distributing guided missiles, including Chinese-manufactured CH95.On Thursday, Rights Group Amnesty International published a report, stating that “Chinese GB50A guided bomb and 155 mm AH-4 Howitzers” were used by RSF and provided by Khartum and Darfur.
Sparring fighters:
The Sudani government on Tuesday separated diplomatic relations with the Gulf State, alleging that the RSF accused Port Sudan of supplying advanced arms systems used to attack.Despite reports from United Nations experts, American politicians and international organizations, Abu Dhabi has repeatedly refused the RSF.According to Nonsidant Fellow Mohand Alnaur at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, the “main objective of the Army is to divert the attention of the army” and bring itself into a position as a potential government, which it will be said.“It is very easy for him to attack and take back, instead of defending it,” Alnaur said.A few 1,500 km (930 mi) is required from RSF bases to Port Sudan at the huge Landmas-Darfur of Crossing Sudan-Long-distance drones such as Chinese-made wing long II deployed by the UAE are required, or Turkish-built Beyra TB2 is used by the army.Both sides in Sudan are in the race for “destroying each other’s drone capacity”, Khair said.Two years in the disastrous war, RSF has another encouragement to rely on the drone, he said.“This allows them to leave their soldiers” after the report that the RSF recruitment has drowned since the war begins.“The initial recruitment was high based on the robbery opportunity, and now left too little for the robbery,” he said.Both sides have been accused of war crimes including targeting citizens, but the RSF is particularly accused of large -scale looting, ethnic cleaning and systematic sexual violence.
