Sudanese Ambassador to Indonesia Yassir Mohamed Ali revealed that the Rapid Support Force (RSF) carried out a number of cruel acts, one of which was recruiting children to become soldiers.

"RSFs with large resources have never built a single school in Darfur or in Sudan. They prefer to attract children from poor families to be registered as soldiers, which is a striking violation of human rights," Yassir said at a press conference on the current conditions in Sudan at his residence in Jakarta. Jakarta reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 3.

Yassir said RSF had deployed more than 40,000 troops in the capital, with a fully armed SUV.

"It has now been confirmed that after the destruction of all sources of basic logistics support for the RSF, as many as 85 percent of their soldiers had surrendered, fled or were killed by the military," he said.

Therefore, continued Yassir, based on these facts it is not true to describe what is happening in Sudan as a civil war.

"This is more of an unavoidable action by SAF against armed rebel groups seeking to carry out a coup to seize power and try to kill the head of state and control all strategic locations in Khartoum," he said.

According to him, it is now clear that the attack has been planned, well prepared and regulated, not only by the RSF who rebel but also supported by foreign elements in a major conspiracy to besiege power by force in Sudan.

Yassir also revealed that the RSF had violated the humanitarian ceasefire six times and damaged a number of diplomatic offices such as the European Union Embassy, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and diplomatic lines belonging to the United States Embassy.

The rebel forces also looted cars belonging to the Indonesian embassy and killed one of the administrative attaches at the Egyptian Embassy, he said.

Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued criticism for the striking violations of their diplomatic missions, personnel and property by the RSF.

According to a military spokesman's statement, a military operation to declare Khartoum completely free from control of the RSF may take several days.

The military conflict in Sudan has been raging since April 15, killing 528 people and injuring more than 4,000 people, he said.
