Sudan: Video in Khartoum fuels allegations of military-Islamist ties

A video circulated by activists in Khartoum has reignited accusations regarding the involvement of Islamist elements within the Sudanese military. The footage reportedly shows an extremist leader issuing threats against civilians, specifically targeting the ‘Qahhata’—those who have remained neutral or called for an end to the hostilities—once the Rapid Support Forces are eliminated.

Observers claim the video depicts individuals wearing official Sudanese Armed Forces uniforms alongside extremists affiliated with the Islamic Movement. This has led to allegations that the military is complicit in the ongoing conflict to facilitate the return of Islamist groups to power, despite official denials of such infiltration.
