Aljazeera published on 11 January 2024 a commentary titled "Sudan Should Avoid the Mistakes that Kept Angola in Conflict for 27 Years" by Tafi Mhaka, Aljazeera columnist.
Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo recently toured East Africa and met with President Cyril Ramphosa in South Africa in an effort to portray himself as a reasonable statesman. The author argues that, at best, Dagalo is a political reincarnation of his former boss, ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, or, at worst, a rebel without a cause, palpable ideology, or moral compass.
The author compares Dagalo to Jonas Savimbi, leader of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, who was killed in battle. He concludes that a democratic Sudan will have no place for people like Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo or Sudan Armed Forces leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
