Since the start of war between the RSF and the army in April this year, the groups have remained neutral.<\/p>\n<p>In their statement, the groups emphasized their commitment to Sudan\u2019s unity and called upon the people of Darfur, in particular, to stand united against what they said is a \u201cforeign project\u201d to divide Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe affirm our absolute commitment to Sudan\u2019s unity, both land and people. We will never relinquish it; it is our essence and soul, and we will never allow the passing of any agenda seeking Sudan\u2019s current dismantling,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appeal to our people in Sudan, in general, and Darfur, in particular, to unify the internal front to confront the division threat, firmly opposing all internal and foreign conspiracies to dismantle Sudan. We will never allow Darfur to be a gateway to Sudan\u2019s disintegration,\u201d they emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>They also called on \u201csome regional supporting countries of the Rapid Support Forces militia in their war against Sudan to immediately refrain from blatant interference in Sudan\u2019s affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
