Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, accused of mass atrocities in their 19-month war with the army, on Monday, denied responsibility for violations and said they were committed to peace.
Members of an RSF delegation, speaking to journalists in Nairobi, Kenya, also refuted widespread reports of receiving weapons from the United Arab Emirates.
“We don’t get any assistance from any country whatever,” said delegation head, General Omar Hamdan Ahmed, speaking through an interpreter.
Instead, he accused Egypt of extensive support for the Sudanese army, including air strikes, a claim Cairo has denied.
