MEDIA STATEMENT

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) refutes the Sudanese Armed Forces' (SAF) false claims that our forces attacked a diplomatic mission and residence in Khartoum.

These claims are no more than an act of disinformation aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the RSF.

Earlier, the SAF and its extremist backers linked to the former regime of military dictator Omar al-Bashir disseminated fake news, claiming that the RSF attacked the Embassy of Jordan and the residence of the Saudi ambassador in the capital.

No such incidents took place and no attacks were made on diplomatic missions or their personnel today by any party to the continuing war.

Evidence, including video footage of the diplomatic mission and residence concerned, as well as eyewitness testimony, prove that these claims were fabricated.

The RSF reiterates its unwavering commitment to the protection and security of all diplomatic missions, residences, and personnel, as well as to assisting with the safe evacuation of foreign nationals.
