| Ethiopia arrives today attempting to rescue the Rapid Support Forces militia |
| 2026-02-06 |
Translated Text: Following Chad's intervention at the outset of the war to rescue the Rapid Support Forces militia and open the borders for mercenaries to cross into Darfur, then Libya's support for the militia after its collapse in the capital and assistance in controlling Al-Fashir, Babnusa, and the Malha Desert, Ethiopia now arrives today attempting to rescue the militia after its complete collapse in the Sennar region and Blue Nile last year. Three months ago, the Rapid Support Forces militia's force in the Blue Nile State was isolated, weak, and besieged on the border between two countries, controlling only three villages where it relied on agricultural tractors to transport its members. But today, it has acquired an additional number of vehicles armed with machine guns, despite its collapse in 2025 and withdrawal from most of its positions along with the evacuation of its wounded commanders. It appears that Ethiopia believes its support for the Rapid Support Forces militia will grant it the ability to control Sudan, thereby depriving Egypt of its strategic ally on the issue of the Renaissance Dam and Nile water shares. And since Libya, Chad, and the UAE have all failed to rescue the militia, it is clear that Ethiopia too will not be able to achieve this goal. |
