KHARTOUM – Integrating a powerful paramilitary force into the army has emerged as the latest stumbling block in Sudan’s transition to civilian rule following three decades under ousted autocrat Omar al-Bashir.
A civilian-military administration has led Sudan since August 2019 under a power-sharing deal that was due to expire next year but was extended after a peace agreement reached in October with several rebel groups.

Integrating a powerful paramilitary force into the army has emerged as the latest stumbling block in Sudan s transition to civilian rule following three decades under ousted strongman Omar al-Bashir.
A civilian-military administration has led Sudan since August 2019 under a power-sharing deal that was due to expire next year but was extended after a peace agreement reached in October with several rebel groups.
Both deals stipulated the need for reform to the military, including the integration of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) formed in 2013 to crush rebels fighting Bashir s government throughout Sudan into the regular army.
