KHARTOUM, Sudan: The Sudanese army has accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of “kidnapping and assassinating” the governor of West Darfur state, nearly two months after a power struggle between rival generals plunged the African nation into a devastating war.

The killing of Khamis Abdullah Abakar meant the RSF has added a “new chapter to its record of barbaric crimes that it has been committing against all the Sudanese people,” the regular army said on Facebook, also calling the incident a “brutal act.”
