00:00Just days after Sudan's paramilitary rapid support forces announced the formation of a 15-member governing council, the African Union is pushing back.
00:10Warning that the RSF's move could further fragment Sudan and derail fragile peace efforts, the RSF named its leader General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo as head of a newly declared presidential council.
00:23The rapid support forces have been locked in a brutal war with Sudan's armies since April of 2023.
00:30The army maintains control over Khartoum and much of the North, East, and Central regions.
00:35Meanwhile, the RSF holds sway over most of Darfur and parts of Kodofan, where recent attacks have killed hundreds according to local human rights groups.
00:45The African Union says the creation of a parallel government only deepens the crisis.
