The Rise of General Hamdan in Sudan

The New York Times published on 15 June 2019 an article titled "Sudan Ousted a Brutal Dictator. His Successor Was His Enforcer" by Declan Walsh.

The article describes the rise of Lt. General Mohamed Hamdan, also known as Hemeti, as the real power in Sudan. Although number two in the Transitional Military Council, General Hamdan's Rapid Support Forces seem to behind recent attacks on protesters and the center of power in the country.
