قائد منشق عن الدعم السريع: المعتقلون يعيشون أوضاعا إنسانية صعبة وتعذيبا يصل إلى التصفية — Sunday 17 May 2026A former commander who defected from Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces has described dire conditions inside RSF-run detention sites, claiming that thousands of prisoners face severe mistreatment and even summary executions. Ali Rizqallah al-Safna singled out the Daqris prison in Nyala, South Darfur, as one of the main facilities where detainees endure overcrowding, lack of medical care, and routine torture. His account adds to mounting reports of abuses committed by both sides in the fifteen-month war that has torn Sudan apart. Al-Safna further stated that RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, sustained wounds during clashes around the army’s general headquarters in Khartoum. While the RSF has not confirmed the injury, the claim comes at a time when the paramilitary force is struggling to hold territory in the capital and parts of Darfur. Observers in the region note that any sign of weakness within RSF ranks could shift the balance in ongoing talks mediated by Saudi Arabia and the United States. For neighboring countries and the wider Arab world, the revelations underscore how Sudan’s conflict has become a protracted humanitarian disaster with ripple effects across porous borders. Egypt watches its southern flank with growing alarm, while Gulf states that once backed different factions now face pressure to press for accountability. Without credible monitoring of detention centers and a genuine ceasefire, analysts in Beirut and Cairo warn that Sudan risks sliding into a cycle of revenge killings that could destabilize the Horn of Africa for years.Watch the full video from Al Jazeera English below.
