The Colombian government has apologized for the involvement of Colombian citizens as mercenaries within the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
During a meeting with Sudan’s Ambassador to Egypt, Major General Imad al-Din Adawi, Colombia’s Ambassador to Cairo, Ana Milena de Javeria, expressed her shock at the news of Colombian citizens participating in the ongoing war in Sudan alongside the RSF militia.
