November 19, 2024 (N’DJAMENA) – The United Arab Emirates has warned the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) it may cut off support if the paramilitary group fails to seize control of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, a source close to the Chadian presidency told Sudan Tribune. Chad plays a key logistical and military support role for the RSF, allowing the use of its airports and border crossings. El Fasher has been under RSF siege since May, with intense fighting but little change in territorial control. The source said the RSF is seeking alternative support, including bartering gold for weapons via Nyala airport, which has recently increased activity. Reports indicate renewed activity at the Sengo gold mine in South Darfur. Sudan Tribune could not independently confirm these claims. The RSF has progressively gained control across much of Darfur. Government forces remain entrenched in El Fasher, having partially broken the siege. The city has seen the fiercest fighting, with the RSF suffering significant losses, including commander Ali Yaqoub, killed in June. Both sides continue to mobilize fighters. Africa Intelligence, a French intelligence newsletter, reported the UAE plans to reduce spending of at least $2 billion allegedly used for RSF military and …

November 19, 2024 (TWIC) – Malaria remains a leading cause of illness and death among children in South Sudan, a country with a fragile health system and annually faces flooding as well as poverty. Despite the predictable recurrence of malaria peaks, immunization coverage remains inadequate, contributing to overcrowded health facilities and an unbroken cycle of severe cases, an international medical charity said in a statement. .According to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), in response to these recurrent malaria outbreaks, MSF teams in Warrap State’s Twic County have implemented malaria prevention mass drug administration (MDA) and supported the Ministry of Health (MoH) in malaria vaccination rounds in Mayen Abun for the second year in a row. These preventive measures, it stated, have contributed to a significant reduction in malaria cases and severity, especially among vulnerable children. Adior Manut, from the Turalei internally displaced people’s camp in Mayen Abun in Twic County, said her children benefited from treatment by MSF and have not suffered from malaria. “When the MDA started, I took my five children and got the drugs to prevent malaria. None of them got sick,” she said, adding “I appreciate that because I can’t imagine what my children would have been like …

November 19, 2024 (PORT SUDAN) – General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of the Sovereign Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), rejected the Russia-vetoed UN Security Council resolution on Sudan, stating that it failed to address the country’s core concerns. Speaking at the Economic Conference in Port Sudan, al-Burhan criticized the resolution for not acknowledging the role of foreign actors in supplying weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Al-Burhan stressed that Sudan’s post-war relationships with international actors will be determined by their stance during the conflict. He accused the RSF of exploiting previous ceasefires negotiated in Jeddah to re-arm and intensify their siege of cities. The army chief reiterated his commitment to finding a solution internally and rejecting external interference. He declared that victory against the RSF was imminent, and the war was turning to favour the SAF. Al-Burhan outlined conditions for accepting a ceasefire, insisting on the complete withdrawal of RSF forces from all occupied areas and their assembly at designated cantonment sites. This withdrawal, he stated, is crucial to lift the siege of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, and ensure the free movement of civilians and aid. “Sudan will not accept any ceasefire …
