Rapid Support Forces

The Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, are one of the two main armed camps in Sudan’s war as described by Outsider chance: ending Sudan’s proxy war. The source says the RSF lost Khartoum to the SAF but still controls much of western Sudan, especially Darfur.

The source keeps foreign-backing claims source-scoped: Tom Gardner says evidence points to significant UAE support for the RSF, while the UAE denies this. The RSF is also tied to Low-Cost Drone Warfare through sustained aerial assault around El Obeid.
