SUDAN NEWS ALERT: AP - Sudan military leader says perpetrators of crackdown ID’d
AP reports that Himedti, the deputy chief of Sudan’s ruling military council said Thursday the military has identified the perpetrators of the violent dispersal of a pro-democracy sit-in earlier this month, but said he won’t reveal their identities because of an ongoing investigation.
Himedti also warned of impostors posing as troops among the Rapid Support Forces, who protesters blame for the bulk of the killings. Himedti, who leads the RSF, said the military had arrested dozens of people wearing RSF uniforms and committing violations. On Wednesday alone, nine impostors were arrested, he said.
“Anyone who had crossed his limits whether they are from the military or civilians, I swear to God, will stand trial,” said Himedti in an address to a military-backed women’s rally in Khartoum.
