According to industry sources, the RSF deliberately severed service for Zain, Sudani, and MTN – apparently to pressure the de facto authorities into restoring service in Darfur (Darfur has experienced network disruption for months, though many have attributed this to the RSF’s failure to facilitate repair, maintenance, and fuel supply for infrastructure in areas under its control). [...] Mediators are reportedly preparing invitations for the SAF and the RSF to resume the Jeddah talks. [...] Amidst the fighting, the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate has called on parties to the conflict to protect the archives stored at the Sudan Radio and Television Corporation in Omdurman. [...] Scott, and Booker have introduced another draft resolution – this time recognising actions of the RSF and allied militia in Darfur against non-Arab communities as acts of genocide, calling on the Atrocity Prevention Task Force to conduct a comprehensive review of its Sudan response, and urging the US Government to: (i) support documentation of atrocities and genocidal acts in Sudan; (ii) identify. [...] See here and here for further context to the trip, including: (i) SAF efforts to secure additional weapons via Iran (al-Sadiq visited Iran’s House of Innovation and Technology, an agency that promotes Iranian exports including drones); (ii) ties between Iran and the al-Bashir-regime; and (iii) responding to the UAE and Israel.
