“Friendly Fire” Tears Through RSF Amid Deadly Splits and Fierce Clashes in Kordofan

Violent armed clashes erupted between factions of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in the West Kordofan axis, following escalating internal disputes among commanders and field elements.

Field sources reported that direct confrontations resulted in deaths and injuries among RSF members, amid a state of chaos and deepening fragmentation that is increasingly threatening the group’s organizational cohesion in the area of West Kordofan.

The developments come within the context of a widening internal crisis within the RSF militia, reflecting weakening battlefield cohesion and growing divisions among its leadership structures.
