The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced on Friday that they have released 265 prisoners from the Sudanese army. This development comes as a significant step towards reconciliation and peace in the region.
The RSF made the announcement via its official Twitter account, stating that the release of these prisoners was carried out in accordance with directives from RSF Commander, Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemeti. However, specific details regarding the circumstances of their release were not provided in the announcement.
This move comes amid ongoing efforts to foster stability and reconciliation in Sudan. The RSF’s decision to release the Sudanese army prisoners could be seen as a positive step towards achieving peace and resolving internal conflicts within the country.
Earlier in the week, the RSF’s negotiating delegation arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, responding to invitations from both Saudi Arabia and the United States to resume negotiations. These negotiations aim to address various issues facing Sudan, including political, economic, and security concerns.
Additionally, the Sudanese Armed Forces have accepted the invitation to resume negotiations in Jeddah, marking a concerted effort to find diplomatic solutions to ongoing challenges.
The release of the 265 Sudanese army prisoners can be viewed as a confidence-building measure in the broader context of Sudan’s efforts to stabilize the nation and promote peace and unity among its diverse population. As negotiations continue in Jeddah, there is hope that this step will contribute to lasting solutions and an improved future for Sudan.
