Hemedti visits Djibouti as East African countries attempt to broker a ceasefire between the RSF and the Sudanese army. The head of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has visited Djibouti, the nation at the forefront of regional initiatives to facilitate a ceasefire following over eight months of ongoing conflict. Djibouti is the latest stop on Mohamed Hamdan Daglo‘s first trip abroad since fighting erupted between the RSF and the Sudanese army in mid-April. Hemedti said on X that he discussed the latest developments in the war with Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh. IGAD, a bloc representing eight East African countries, has been trying to bring al-Burhan and Hemedti together since the war erupted.
