In an audio recording obtained by Al-Jazeera today, Rapid Support Forces Commander Muhammad Hamdan Tagalo (Hamidi) said the war in Sudan has doubled the suffering of the Sudanese people, especially in Khartoum and Darfur, as fighting continued in the three cities of Khartoum, and the military bombarded rapid support bases in Umm Durman and its center south. blew

Hamiti added that the war is over 3 months old and they are working hard with local and foreign actors to mitigate its effects.

“Peace and stability in a state of freedom, justice and equality,” he insisted, but still the choice of his forces.

As he said, we will not allow the defunct regime and its remnants to regain power, the Rapid Support Force Commander said.

He added that no victory, no matter how great, would inspire his forces to move forward with the courage to accept the option of a political solution to the roots of the crisis.

It is noteworthy that Hamiti has made only one public appearance with his fighters in Khartoum since the outbreak of fighting 3 months ago, and has contented himself with providing audio recordings or written statements.
