The official army and the RSF have been engaged in combat in the capital of Sudan for the past five weeks, with no clear winner emerging. The international community is seeking to persuade the two parties to sign a humanitarian cease-fire in the meanwhile.

On April 16, al-Burhan ordered army officers who had been seconded to the RSF to return to their home forces. The four generals ignored the directive and kept working with the paramilitary organization.
The four generals who were fired had significant positions in the RSF command hierarchy, according to the Sudan Tribune. Brigadier General Balayel led the mobile forces that closed Sudan’s border with the Central African Republic in January, Major General Hamid Mohamed oversaw military operations in the Rapid Support Forces, Major General Al-Fadel Abdel-Hamid oversaw the RSF Commander’s office, and Brigadier General Ahmed Hamad is currently in charge of the RSF negotiating team in the Jeddah negotiations.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan released Brigadier Generals Absher Gibril Balayel, Major General Osman Mohamed Hamid Mohamed, Major General Hassan Mahjoub Al-Fadel Abdel-Hamid, and Brigadier General Omer Hamdan Ahmed Hamad from their duties in a proclamation made on Sunday.
Hemetti said earlier this month that 480 army chiefs of staff who were in charge of instructing his troops, since the battle splashed they have been having a negative countenance towards and had betrayed him.
Only four of his former generals were still behind him, he said.
Since fighting between the RSF, commanded by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo and the Sudanese army, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, began on April 15, more than 600 people—including civilians—have died and more than 5,000 have been injured. Since the military coup in October 2021, which expelled the civilian members of a transitional government that had been established after tyrant Omar al-Bashir was overthrown, the two men have been sharing power.
