As hands are raised to the sky in supplication to God, so that the crisis in Sudan does not turn into a civil and street war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces; we must pay close attention to several points that every individual in the Arab nation must be aware of. What is happening now is not a sudden occurrence but the harvest of years of negligence and a failure to appreciate the consequences of events. These forces were born from the womb of the army, and there were steps to integrate them into the regular army, but Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as "Hemedti", preempted the matter and carried out a rebellion.

This step reminds us of the attempts by the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood to establish a parallel army in Egypt. We all know that the Rapid Support Forces were established by the Sudanese Brotherhood regime in 2014 and legalized by the parliament in 2017. They evolved from the tribal Janjaweed militia, which the Sudanese regime dealt with under the pretext of fighting the rebels of the Darfur region, into quasi-official forces.

Unfortunately, after the elimination of the Bashir's Brotherhood regime by the commander of the armed forces, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, he did not pay attention to the danger of these parallel armies. Instead, "Hemedti" became the vice president of the Sovereignty Council and was given the rank of a first lieutenant, despite not attending a military college. "Hemedti" gained more influence and control over Sudanese gold sources, and through them established a strong relationship with Wagner forces in Russia. These forces are concentrated in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces in Darfur, Blue Nile, and other provinces. Mining is carried out for the benefit of "Wagner" through the Sudanese Gold Mining Company "Merowe Gold," owned by "M Invest," headquartered in Russia. "Wagner" helped the Rapid Support Forces strengthen their influence not only in remote areas of the country but also in the capital, Khartoum.

"Wagner" forces do not play a combat role in Sudan; they provide military and intelligence training and monitor and protect sites and senior officials. It seems that "Hemedti" has granted Wagner control over gold mines in exchange for this.

The events currently unfolding in Sudan confirm that militias pose a danger to African countries, especially since they have become part of their fabric. Unfortunately, the militarization of civilians did not take place consciously and deliberately as part of recruitment processes in the army through military service; instead, what happened in most African countries, including Sudan, was due to the deterioration of economic conditions and the spread of unemployment among young people, along with the escalation and continuation of civil wars and the division of countries as happened with Sudan. The least expensive option was to rely on armed militias, most of which were driven by foreign elements from abroad exploiting the inability of African countries to manage their resources and the fact that they do not possess the power to defend themselves. The idea of militias came with the blessing of the leaders of these countries.

Militias have infiltrated and gained strength under the presence of external funding and support. Unfortunately, most of their elements are bandits, criminals, thieves, and livestock traders, including "Hemedti," who was a cattle trader. The primary and ultimate goal of these militias is to seize power and achieve personal gains, and sooner or later, they will pose a threat to the existence of the official army in the absence of a national military doctrine among its members.
