SUDAN: HARD-LINE DARFURI MILITIA SEIZE CONTROL OF THE CAPITAL

   Mon, 17 June 2019

A former ethnic Arab militia accused of war crimes in Darfur and now integrated into the Sudanese security forces and armed with new weapons from the Gulf has seized control of the capital Khartoum in recent weeks. These hard-line militia forces are increasingly likely to clash with the military, which is seeking to create an Egypt-style post-coup political order and to repair Sudan’s international reputation.
