7/3/2023: Multiple sources: Himedti vows to resist those who cling to power refusing civilian government

Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander Himedti said his forces dispute “those who cling to power” rather than the army.

Sudan Tribune report that after tensions flared between Himedti and army commander-in-chief Abdulfattah al-Burhan over the framework agreement, the UAE sent its state minister for foreign affairs to de-escalate the verbal attacks.

Sudan Tribune add that Al-Burhan and senior army figures did not appreciate Himedti’s support for the framework agreement with its agreed signatories, with Himedti’s “indiscipline” allegedly foiling their flans to add more political forces supporting their vision for the transition.

Radio Dabanga note that Resistance Committees still consider Himedti “an enemy of the revolution,” and call for the RSF to be disbanded and brought to justice. “They are controlling the country’s resources, such as gold and other minerals and the export of livestock, and use the revenues to wage wars in the country,” the committees said.
