SUDAN: Sheikh El Tayeb Mohamed Ahmed, wearing what appeared to be a Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) uniform and carrying a Kalashnikov, delivered a sermon at the Great Mosque in El Obeid calling for jihad against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
He went on a rant about historical Islamic battles against the Romans, invoking rhetoric about drinking their blood, before declaring that the Sudanese people were now “thirsty to drink the blood” of the RSF.
He also rejected peace negotiations, urged Sudan’s military leadership to retake El Geneina in Darfur and declared that “terrorism must be confronted with terrorism.”
(Btw both the SAF and RSF have been accused of committing serious atrocities against civilians during Sudan’s ongoing civil war.)
