In the last few days the army commander and leader of the Rapid Support Force (RSF) Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Daglo aka Hemeti have been able to travel from Tchad to Uganda (27th December 2023) and Ethiopia (28th September 2023). This is happening as a scheduled meeting with advisory Gen. Al-Burhan of Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council got cancelled on “technical difficulties”.
That’s weird as the militia leader and paramilitary commander was able to swiftly get to Tchad to take a UAE sponsored plane to Entebbe. Meet and hold talks with Ugandan President Museveni. Before leaving Uganda for Bole International Airport (Ethiopia). Where the Foreign Minister Mekonnen meet him and later hold talks with Prime Minister Abiy.
So, within 48 hours he has had the ability to travel and get around on the continent. Nothing has blocked him or challenged him. While the authorities of Djibouti came out with a statement yesterday that the scheduled meeting for today on the 28th December 2023 was cancelled.
When you know that Hemeti could travel like this and do these diplomatic missions. He surely should have been or could easily have planned ahead and gone to Djibouti. However, there must be something underneath the surface and that isn’t in the public domain of yet.
These talks that was scheduled for today is now supposed to happen early in 2024. So, in January 2024 the talks between RSF and SAF are supposed to happen. The IGAD are delegated and being the multi-national body to oversee it. Therefore, it is of importance for the Horn of Africa and for Sudan to find a way out of the war between the parties. However, I wouldn’t count on it. There been several cease-fires and talks since April 2023. Nevertheless, nothing fruitful is yet to be achieved.
I begin to think that Hemeti rather seek allies and friends outside of the borders of Sudan. Just so he knows that he can count on them and hopefully have their back. Because, if his winning the war and getting ahead as it seems. He needs the region to legitimize his reign and time after conquering the Republic. That’s just a guess here and if not… his there to ensure more ways of arms and direct support of his war. As his now in the hands of the UAE and Tchad who is comforting him from a far.
That’s why these visits aren’t just pleasant surprises and showing his face internationally. As there been speculations to his demise and death. It shows that he means something and wants to be legit. However, his using vile force and his paramilitary group aren’t known for peaceful means, but brutal, lethal and destructive means, which are hurting, destroying and killing innocent lives as they take more territories. Therefore, there is little initial trust that he will serve for good or care for the lives of Sudan. The history of Janjaweed of Darfur says enough really and his current methods as RSF aren’t doing him any favours either. His just showing the brutality and the horrific tactics of his troops…
A scheduled talks like the ones today is ditched and stopped for a purpose. Hemeti did so to show power to Al-Burhan or in hopes of gaining favours elsewhere. As he hopes his war effort is gaining momentum. That’s why he can be like this and prolong the agony. Right now there is no genuine will for cease-fire or an end of the war. There is is too much at stake and the victor will take it all. That’s why they are gambling it all and hoping the other one just slumbers for one second. So, that they can get ahead and wipe the other one out. Peace.
