SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Africa Report - Sudan: Schisms begin to show over a week into military coup
Africa Report raise the prospect of a schism between army commander-in-chief Abdulfattah al-Burhan and his Rapid Support Forces militia counterpart and “partner-in-coup”, Himedti.
The Africa Report note that Himedti was “relatively silent” following the coup, with rumours that Himedti stated he is against it in conversations with French diplomats.
The Africa Report add that it appears that the military is not representing a united front to support the coup, amid reports that junior leaders are unhappy with al-Burhan’s leadership, and are refusing to follow instructions and defend the coup, and tensions remaining as officers push back against the Islamist control of the military
