The National Commission in Sudan has issued arrest warrants for several high-profile figures, including Sovereignty Council Chairman General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, General Yasser al-Atta, and former Vice President Hassabo Abdelrahman Kibir, according to a statement circulated on Sunday by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The announcement, shared by the RSF on its official channels, said the warrants relate to alleged violations committed in the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. The statement did not provide further details regarding the nature of the alleged violations or the legal mechanisms through which the warrants were issued.
The RSF framed the move as part of a wider push for accountability amid the ongoing conflict, using hashtags referencing the “battle for democracy” and the “guardians of the glorious revolution.”
There was no immediate comment from the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the individuals named, or independent judicial bodies. The RSF and SAF have been locked in a protracted and brutal conflict since April 2023, with both sides trading accusations of abuses across multiple regions of Sudan.
The claims contained in the RSF statement could not be independently verified.
