The RSF's actions in Gezira state are a desperate response to battlefield losses around Khartoum. They're targeting civilians, particularly the Shukriya tribal group, in acts of atrocity violence rather than engaging in a counter-offensive against the Sudanese Armed Forces. The global silence on these atrocities may lead to a gross underestimation of the death toll.

The situation in Sudan is a complex conflict with both sides fighting for control of the country. The defection of a key RSF commander to government forces suggests internal divisions within the paramilitary group. The Sudanese army's strategy of "choking out" RSF forces in key cities may be yielding results, potentially shifting the balance of power in the ongoing war.
