Sudanese paramilitaries are forming a parallel government to the one controlled by the country’s army, pushing Sudan further towards de facto division, political analysts say.
After more than two years of war that has caused waves of ethnic killings, famine and massive displacement, Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are currently fighting for control of al-Fashir - the army’s last foothold in the western Darfur region, an RSF stronghold.
