Sudan: Sudanese army reports death of a Rapid Support Forces (RSF) senior commander in Darfur battle
Sudan’s army reported on Friday that it killed Ali Yagoub Gibril, a senior commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who was sanctioned by the United States.
The incident occurred during a battle in the besieged city of Al-Fashir in north Darfur.
There has been no immediate response from the RSF concerning the development.
Gibril was a prominent RSF commander in Al-Fashir, which remains the last major city in Sudan’s Darfur region not under the control of the paramilitary group.
