We have just left Sudan after our last report from the capital.

It's been an insane, painful, educational and inspiring trip from Djibouti to Jeddah to Port Sudan to Omdurman. In Djibouti - the pain of leaving your loved ones and country:

Very strange that the @EU_Commission statement would say "Rapid Support Forces...do not benefit directly or indirectly from EU funding", when indirect funding would be impossible to control or monitor in any case. You can't chuck money at border control in a country like Sudan & be so certain that funds haven't ended up with the official border guard i.e the Rapid Support Forces. I would find this statement fishy, even if several sources - including an EU employee - didn't say otherwise

THREAD:

Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed has departed from Khartoum. According to an FFC source, this is how the mediation went... The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) made six demands to the Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed when they met him today, as conditions for the resumption negotiations:

1) the removal of the deployed armed forces from the capital and towns across Sudan.

Finally got in touch my intelligence source (a defected NISS officer) he says:

"This is all a planned attack by the RSF, NISS, People's Police militia, People's Security Militia, Defence Miltia, Student Security Militia & AbdelHai Islamist Militia. They were a force of 10,000." He asked me what the published death toll is currently (he has no access to internet due to the blackout)

When I said 40 people, he sighed and said:

"That's not even a quarter of the number of people killed."

Hemedti's RSF forces have now completely surrounded the area of sit-in... The border guard militia, along with some troops from the army, have asked people to help them with clearing the roads blocks, saying "let's help each other."

People have chanted back to them, "must be us."

Sudan and the diaspora wait with bated breath, after the army say that they will be making an announcement on the radio shortly.

Link to those who want to listen:

raddio.net/2593-sudan-nat… After a day of euphoria and two consecutive nights with no confrontation with regime forces, could this be the moment that Sudan's protesters and exiled diaspora have been waiting for?
