Exjoker: Your post doesn't still show that the West actually funded the RSF.
I'm fact it is a normal thing for EU to support developing countries finically to solve some of their problems. (as big as Nigeria is, we are still receiving finical support from the west).
Did you actually read what I posted
So funding a well known militia (Janjawid) is financial support according to you.
The latest news of Sudan today is presented by this new episode of Samri channel.
The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Sudanese Army said they had succeeded in retaking the headquarters of the General Command in Sudan's capital, Khartoum. The RSF continues to withdraw from the streets of the capital under the weight of US air strikes.
On the other hand, an investigative investigation published by the American network CNN revealed that the Russian Wagner Battle Group sent a plane loaded with Anti-aircraft missiles to the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Hemedti through Syria's Latakia airport and then Libya's Jufra airport, all the way to Chevrolet airport in Sudan's far northwest.
The episode indicates that America may become more involved in the Sudanese conflict as a result of this news in response to Russian military funding of the Rapid Support Forces, as Sudan may turn into a new arena of proxy conflicts between the Kremlin and the White House.
IamPlato: These days there are lots of young ignorant people on Tiktok talking trash. Sometimes when these people talk you wonder if there is brain in their heads.
Abeg listen to this one that claims to be a logical human being
I had taken the pain to briefly educate her and those like her
It's even Wagner Group arming the rebels. Multipolar world indeed.
The West did most to oppose the jãnjaweed (now RSF) that are causing the chaos while Bashir supported them till they came back to bite him. Even the rebel held goldmines are controlled by Wagner group.
Look at this...
BORDER CONTROL FROM HELL Large-scale migration to Europe has precipitated a paradigm shift in relations between the European Union (EU) and the government of Sudan, and closer ties between both entities. This new partnership has resulted in the EU disbursing millions of euros to the Sudanese government for technical equipment and training efforts geared toward stopping the flow to Europe of migrants from Sudan and those from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa who come through Sudan.
the EU’s action plan will involve building the capacities of Sudan’s security and law enforcement agencies, including a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been branded as Sudan’s primary “border force.” The EU will assist the RSF and other relevant agencies with the construction of two camps with detention facilities for migrants. The EU will also equip these Sudanese border forces with cameras, scanners, and electronic servers for registering refugees. There are legitimate concerns with these plans. Much of the EU-funded training and equipment is dual-use. The equipment that enables identification and registration of migrants will also reinforce the surveillance capabilities of a Sudanese government that has violently suppressed Sudanese citizens for the past 28 years. Sudan’s strategy for stopping migrant flows on behalf of Europe involves a ruthless crackdown by the RSF on migrants within Sudan. Dogged by persistent armed uprisings led by opponents protesting chronic inequalities in the distribution of national wealth and political power in its periphery regions, the Sudanese government has always relied on a plethora of militia groups to counter insurgencies. The RSF is one of these militia groups. It evolved from the disparate supporter of APC militias that carried out the genocidal counterinsurgency policy of the Sudanese regime in Darfur that began in 2003.
However, in its functions and evolution, the RSF differs significantly from other militia groups employed by the government The RSF first evolved from a strike force deployed against insurgents in Darfur into a national counterinsurgency force under the operational command of Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) that was tasked with fighting the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/ArmyNorth (SPLM/A-N) in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. Then, in September 2013, the RSF was deployed against peaceful demonstrators who were protesting the Sudanese government’s removal of subsidies on basic commodities. More than 170 people were killed in September 2013, in incidents that unmasked the Sudanese regime’s dependence on the militia to quell political dissent and marked a new evolution in the role of the RSF.
Starting in 2015 and 2016, and convinced of the RSF’s effectiveness as a counterinsurgency force, the regime designated the RSF as Sudan’s primary force tasked with patrolling Sudanese borders to interdict migrants’ movement. The Sudanese government made this designation within the framework of its partnership with the EU for the control of migration. As such, the RSF is positioned to receive EU funds for reducing the flows of migrants from Sudan to Europe. The Sudanese government enacted a law in January 2017 that integrated the RSF into the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF, national army). The 2017 law (conflictingly) made the RSF autonomous, integrated into the army, and under the command of President Omar al-Bashir (see below).
The EU and the EU member states that are most engaged with Sudan in the actual programmatic partnership on migration flows should scrutinize the record and conduct of the RSF as the partnership unfolds. By “building the capacity” of Sudan’s newly minted border force with funding and training, the EU would not only be strengthening the hand of the RSF but also could find itself underwriting a complex system of a “militia state” that Sudan has evolved into since the current regime came to power in 1989. In so doing, the EU contradicts and undermines the overriding objectives of its own founding treaty. EU members cannot advance peace,security, and human rights and they cannot stem irregular migration from Sudan and the Horn of Africa by directly funding a government that deploys a militia group that stokes violent conflict, commits atrocities, and creates massive displacement of populations within Sudan.
The remainder of this paper synthesizes public information about the RSF’s activities and argues how EU support for this group could ultimately worsen irregular migration to Europe, escalate violent conflict within Sudan and the Horn of Africa, and embolden a regime and militia force that acts with impunity and now faces even fewer checks on its criminal behavior. This paper aims to highlight the latest developments from Sudan and examine the record of earlier engagements of the RSF, lest one or all of Sudan’s EU partners claim, at a later date, that they were unaware of the perverse incentives at play.
bidexiii: Terrorists in Mali, Cameroon, Burkina Faso and other weather African state are about to get a bloody Nose.. Already they are feeling the heat, this eyes in the shy is changing the game.
SlyFoxxJoe2: You are right. And my point is that every country that gets involved with another country does so for their own interest. But china’s approach just happens to be better for Africa than America’s. And if America doesn’t change their approach then it’s inevitable that Africa would dump them for china in the long run especially if China tells them to do so.
China is hell bent on overthrowing America as the foremost global superpower. One of their strategies for doing so is diminishing Anerica’s influence in the 3rd world. They are getting very successful at that.
The bold is exactly what I am saying Africa should make her own choice of alignment not been told what to do by others.
SlyFoxxJoe2: Of course it favors them. Who said it doesn’t? It favours them in a business sense but Africa gains too because we develop. It’s a win win. America’s approach on the other hand is to try and control us with aid and threaten to cut it off if we don’t accept their LGBTQ and other bullshit agenda’s. America is interested in keeping us poor. China is here to do business!! Africa is open for business we do not need your aid anymore. Come and INVEST here. We are not a charity case. That’s exactly what China is doing!
I have no problem with China in Africa, my point is both USA and China are not angels only interest matters. We rather stick to both devils and benefit from them than dump one for one.
benalvino3: Dude, they are Dishing the US Dollars, how can Nigeria use Ksh for their trade? i don't think you understand what the discussion is. the talk here is that countries are dumping Dollars for trades they use to do with dollars. it is not about countries using ksh
they were using dollars with they got into IMF butt isn't it? so what is your point?
z
Let start with how many countries are ditching the dollar?
SlyFoxxJoe2: This is a myth. They have never actually seized any assets from any African country. It’s American propaganda to try and scare African countries away from China. Don’t be fooled too bro.
benalvino3: Your take is still pointless. they are trading with something else other than the dollar that is the point. and yes, it will help their economy too.
How excatly? Show me a report where any country have accepted ksh for trade outside Kenya, or how Ghana is doing magic with high inflation and debt to GDP close to 100+%. The fact remains that this countries are now in IMF butt.
