Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have withdrawn from Khartoum, commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo said in an address to the group’s fighters Sunday, AFP reports. Daglo’s comments come three days after the RSF asserted there would be “no retreat and no surrender”. The army, which now controls the capital, remains locked in war with the rebel RSF, which holds much of Darfur in the country’s west. The more than two year conflict has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
