“No country is supporting Sudan in this war, either through weapons or funding. We produce our own arms,” Jaboul stated, highlighting Sudan’s reliance on its resources while asserting that the RSF benefits from external support.
The diplomat warned that unchecked support for the RSF could escalate the conflict beyond Sudan’s borders. He pointed to the recent massacre in Al-Sireha village, El Gezira State, where at least 124 people were killed and over 100 injured, as evidence of the worsening humanitarian crisis. Activists call this one of the deadliest incidents since the conflict began on April 15, 2023, when the RSF sought to seize power from army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
The ongoing conflict has displaced over 10 million people, fueling one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises. Since September, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have intensified their campaign to reclaim areas around Khartoum, but Jaboul emphasized that international assistance is crucial to accelerating the defeat of the RSF and restoring stability in Sudan.
