On behalf of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) we would like to address the recent article published by CNN. In these times of information warfare and fake news, we stand as the steadfast defenders of truth, justice, and the will of the Sudanese people.

We categorically reject the allegations of our involvement with the Wagner group in Sudan's current conflict. Instead, it is SAF who has aligned themselves with these foreign forces, not RSF

As proud Sudanese, we will not stand idle while external forces attempt to dictate the destiny of our nation. Sudan is a land of resilience, and we will never allow it to be fractured or manipulated by foreign powers.

Our unwavering commitment is to restore stability and establish a civilian government at the earliest opportunity. We are more than willing to engage in constructive dialogue with the international community, ensuring a peaceful and democratic transition for our beloved Sudan.

Our ultimate goal is to bring democracy to the people of Sudan without any interference from foreign powers or contentious armed groups. We will not let anything stand in our way as we strive for this noble objective.

We recognize the concerns of both our citizens and the global community in regard to the ongoing conflict. Rest assured, we are working relentlessly to resolve the situation and bring peace to our nation. We call upon everyone to stand together against the tide of misinformation and disinformation, united in our pursuit of a democratic and thriving Sudan.

We express our gratitude for your understanding and support during these trying times. Together, we will triumph over adversity and lay the foundation for a brighter future for Sudan and its people.

You can put a lot of stuff in one tweet now

Egyptian academics are claiming that Cleopatra, who was born in the Egyptian city of Alexandria in 69 BC and belonged to a Greek-speaking dynasty, was of European descent and not Black.

On the Sudanese side, with all the drama over the dams on the Nil, i guess we are more likely to see the "Ethiopian renaissance" dam get blown up than just some land grab. It would gently caress so many people over on both side, but hey, war!!!!

there’s no drama over the dam because it’s filled up already.

They honestly were, Egypt was an apartheid state during the ptolemic period where the Egyptians themselves were a second class caste (although Hellenized Egyptians could ascend socially).

Alexandria was, but that was basically a seperate country that happened to share a border with Egypt. No one in Memphis would care about that

That video is a roller coaster. It makes it seem like the Oromo have dominated Ethiopia historically. It sort of portrays Abiy as reckless but the last relevant sentence is about how getting rid of ethnic militias is probably a good thing if he can pull it off.

There was a 200 year period when Oromos ruled Abyssinia, in Fact under the Yejju dynasts the court language was Oromo.
