An internal clash within Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has reportedly left a senior commander dead in the Darfur region, according to local sources.
Sources told reporters that Abdullah Abu al-Qasim, commander of the RSF’s Sha’iriya sector, was killed during fighting that erupted among RSF elements in the Khazan area late on Sunday.
The clashes began at around 8:00 p.m. local time and were triggered by internal leadership disputes within the paramilitary group, the sources said.
