World Politics Review published on 2 November 2023 a commentary titled "Sudan's Army Is Losing the Public Relations War--and the Real One" by Elfadil Ibrahim.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) recently took control of Nyala, Sudan's second largest city, but is also winning the public relations battle against the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in spite of the RSF's engaging in genocide in Darfur as well as using civilians for human shields in Khartoum.
Despite its evident military superiority over the SAF, it remains unlikely that the RSF will be able to take control of the entire country, let alone rule it. No amount of effective public relations can hide the fact that the RSF poses a grave threat to Sudan's civilian population and the region's security.
