Khartoum,Feb 10, (Darfur24)
5 soldiers of the Rapid Support Forces RSF serving under the command of the “Decisive Storm” operation coalition were killed and 5 others were injured after they were shot by their colleague in mysterious circumstances in Al-Hasma camp in the Jazan sector in Saudi Arabia.
RSF source told Darfur 24 that a RSF affiliate named (YAR) fired a barrage of bullets at his colleagues in the camp while they were sleeping. Four of them died on the spot and six others were taken to the hospital. One of them died of his wounds on the night of January 30th. The killer fled, as the Saudi military police pursued him on a march, he is still a fugitive.
Nearly five thousand soldiers from the Rapid Support Forces participate in the coalition forces deployed on the Yemeni-Saudi border and are stationed in the Dhahran and Najran regions, while the army participates with an infantry division numbering approximately ten thousand soldiers stationed in the Najran region.
The two forces were scheduled to be replaced by the end of last April, but the outbreak of war between the two forces in Sudan prevented their replacement. Saudi Arabia stipulated that the Army Command and the Rapid Support Forces would return the soldiers in the event of signing a peace agreement or a long-term ceasefire that includes opening airspace throughout the country, according to an officer in the Rapid Support Forces to Darfur 24.
Sudan began its participation in the coalition forces against the Yemeni Ansar Allah group known as (the Houthis) in August 2017, with Rapid Support forces that participated for the first time in the Hodeidah and Aden regions, before the Sudanese authorities stopped sending their soldiers to the right in the year 2020, as they began sending them to the lands.
