Sudan misses deadline to form civilian government

According to the Sudan Tribune, which cited an unknown RSF officer, the trucks had been stationed in the Zurq region near the Libyan border and were their route to Khartoum "as part of RSF's plans to deploy its forces in the city."

Sudan misses deadline to form civilian government

Due to differences over security reforms and other problems, Sudanese civilian groups and the ruling junta have missed the deadline for establishing a transitional administration led by the civilians.

A new prime minister and other positions were scheduled to be unveiled on Tuesday, per the parties' timeline.

The parties repeatedly missed the deadline to sign a formal transition agreement due to differences over how to incorporate the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) into the army.

According to a report on the Al-Intibaha website, the negotiations were apparently suspended for one day for more deliberations by a joint committee of the military and RSF that was formed to tackle controversial matters.

 According to the Paris-based Sudan Tribune news site, the RSF reportedly moved "about 14 armored vehicles" to the capital, Khartoum, "in preparation for any emergency."

Recently, the Sudanese army and the RSF have started assembling their forces in the capital.

It comes after disagreements between Gen. Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemeti, the RSF commander and Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the military chief, which led to worries about clashes between the army and the RSF.
