Hamdan Daglo of RSF meets President Museveni in Uganda

At his house in Rwakitura on Wednesday, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni Kaguta met with General Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, the leader of Sudan’s Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which is engaged in combat with the Sudanese government.

“I welcome Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, the former deputy chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council of Sudan, to my country home in Rwakitura,” the statement on President Museveni X reads.

Museveni says that Hamdan gave him an update on the situation in Sudan now.

Since the start of the conflict in April 2023, this is Daglo’s first documented overseas excursion.

On April 15, Sudan’s Army Chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), turned their guns on each other.

Two years after the former allies jointly engineered a 2021 coup that derailed a fragile democratic transition, their power struggle has killed more than 12,190 people, according to a conservative estimate by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (Acled) Project.
