Sudanese Armed Forces spokesperson, Brigadier General Nabil Abdullah, stated that Osman Jaafar, who announced his defection from the army to join the Rapid Support Forces militia, is an officer who deserted his post at the start of the war and fled to Egypt.
Brigadier Nabil, according to the news site Al-Muhakik, clarified that Osman is a former major falsely claiming the rank of colonel, describing him as greedy and cowardly, with a dishonorable record in the armed forces. He added, “We believe he has chosen the path that suits those like him.”
A video was circulating of a person claiming to be Colonel Osman Jaafar Bilo Babiker from the Sudanese Armed Forces, announcing his defection and stating that he joined the militia because it serves his cause.
