Sudan’s embattled paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces (RSF), cancelled a planned press conference in Nairobi at the eleventh hour on Monday, the result of objections from local authorities over the potential PR disaster of hosting a sanctioned entity, sources said.
RSF, including its leader Mohamed Hamdan Daglo ‘Hemedti,’ now sanctioned by the US for overseeing genocide in Darfur, has enjoyed unfettered access to Nairobi because of long-standing friendships between Hemedti and political leaders in Kenya.
