In recent days a coordinated disinformation campaign has been led by certain hostile satellite television channels and social media platforms linked to remnants of the former regime. They have falsely and maliciously claimed that the so-called “Sudanese Armed Forces” (the Islamists’ army) carried out airstrikes on Nyala Airport and other sites in or around the city of El Fasher, and that these strikes — according to their allegations resulted in the killing of a number of foreign fighters from Colombia.*
The Rapid Support Forces affirms to its supporters across all Sudanese states, to the Sudanese people as a whole, and to the world at large, that these allegations are entirely baseless. They are nothing more than part of the filthy media warfare that the remnants of the former regime have habitually waged to cover up their repeated military defeats, particularly on the Kordofan fronts, and to distract attention from the state of collapse they are experiencing following heavy losses in equipment and manpower in the Kordofan battles.
The city of Nyala with its airport, vital facilities, and strategic locations enjoys full protection and comprehensive security from all four geographical directions, thanks to our vigilant forces and through advanced air defense systems that have been recently upgraded and reinforced. These measures have enabled us to repel and thwart every past attempt by the Islamists’ militia to breach its airspace. Any warplane or drone that has attempted to attack the city has been destroyed, and any hostile object approaching Nyala’s skies or threatening its security will face immediate and decisive destruction. In fact, the heroes of our air defense have recently downed Iranian-made drones as well as Bayraktar Akinci models.
As for the claims about recruiting foreign fighters, they are nothing but lies and a desperate allegation devoid of logic. The Rapid Support Forces draw their strength from the free people of Sudan — young and old — who possess the determination, will, and motivations rooted in decades of injustice and marginalization, and driven by the aspiration for a future of freedom and social justice, to continue fighting the liberation battle until the last stronghold of the remnants and mercenaries in El Fasher, Kordofan, and the rest of Sudan is eliminated.
The ironic and absurd reality is that those spreading these lies are the very ones who openly rely on militias and foreign forces from more than one country, praising and thanking them for fighting at their side. These forces are now stationed in Port Sudan, Wadi Sayidna, and other areas under the control of the Islamists’ army.
We reassure our people in Nyala that their lives — which have regained stability — their bustling markets, and their gardens filled with children, youth, and women enjoying safe and calm evenings will remain firmly protected. We are committed to the continuous development and modernization of our defensive systems, which will remain ready to intercept anyone who dares to attack the city or any liberated area under our control.
The remnants who spread lies from their hideouts inside and outside Sudan are promised heavy rains in Port Sudan that will engulf them and drown their military and economic power centers, in full accordance with the laws and customs of war.
Finally, we call on all television channels and media outlets to exercise accuracy, credibility, and professionalism in reporting news, to rely on official sources, and to communicate directly with the Rapid Support Forces Media Department for accurate and reliable information.
