The human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Tawakkol Karman, has expressed her criticism towards the impartial stance taken by Sudanese political parties in response to the ongoing events within the country.

She has emphasized that such a stance will undoubtedly be regarded as a blemish and a shameful act.

According to a statement posted on her official Facebook page, Tawakkol Karman noted that the Sudanese parties have assumed a neutral stance in the conflict involving Hemedti, the leader of the Janjaweed militia, and the Sudanese army.

Karman further remarked that this development brings to mind the situation in Yemen, where the various parties similarly adopted a neutral position when the Houthi militia made its way from Saada to topple the government in Sana'a.

Additionally, Karman asserted that the Sudanese people will not forget this transgression and will regard it as a shameful and dishonorable mark that cannot be expunged.

On last Saturday, violent confrontations broke out in the city of Khartoum and various states across Sudan, involving the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, and entailing the use of both heavy and light weaponry.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) were initially created in 2013 to combat rebel groups in Sudan's western Darfur region. Subsequently, their mandate was expanded to include border protection and the maintenance of law and order. 

The RSF is affiliated with the country's security and intelligence apparatus, and its estimated number of members exceeds tens of thousands, though there is no official estimate.

The divergences between the army and the Rapid Support Forces have had repercussions on the conclusion of the final agreement for the political process in Sudan, which was initially slated for April 5 but has since been postponed "indefinitely."
