RSF special tasks commander defects with 300 fighters in Sudan
Original: RSF special tasks commander defects with 300 officers, soldiers in Sudan
A commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces' special tasks units has defected, taking around 300 officers and soldiers with him, according to Anadolu Agency. The defection is a notable blow to the RSF as Sudan's civil war with the army continues, and highlights growing internal strain within the paramilitary group.
Why now: The RSF's loss of a senior commander and hundreds of fighters signals possible fractures in the paramilitary at a critical point in Sudan's war.
