Sanctioned Sudan’s RSF and rebel allies claim eight territories amid global condemnation

The move, which comes just days after fierce international condemnation, signals a dramatic escalation in Sudan's power struggle.
The sanctioned Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied Sudanese rebel groups have signed a transitional constitution in Nairobi, boldly laying claim to eight territories and outlining plans for a new joint army comprising RSF and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM).
The move, which comes just days after fierce international condemnation, signals a dramatic escalation in Sudan's power struggle — one that risks deepening the country's fragmentation and further alienating the RSF from global legitimacy.
