The Sultan of Dar Masalit, Saad Bahr Al-Din, has described the killing of Governor Khamis Abkar in the city of El Geneina as a heinous crime, considering that his killing was based on identity, explaining that if Khamis Abkar had not been a Masalit, he would not have been killed in that heinous manner.
\nSultan Saad said, in an interview with \u201cRadio Beladi,\u201d that the Masalit tribe was the first target by the Rapid Support militia (RSF) and was exploited as a platform for the rebel forces to bring military aid and attract mercenaries and mobilizers through the city of El Geneina.
\nThe Sultan of Dar Masalit added that those who attacked the city of El Geneina are not Sudanese, but rather people who were sought help by the RSF rebels from neighboring countries, and that they have no morals and no connection to the Islamic religion or societal norms.
\nHe revealed that this war had been planned for a while, and that the late governor, Khamis Abkar, was one of those who refused Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo\u2019s visit and stay in El Geneina for two months before the war began.<\/p>\n

Bahr El-Din confirmed emphatically that mercenaries were recruited from outside the borders, such as Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Central Africa, in addition to other mercenaries recruited from South Sudan and Ethiopia, and that those used to attack the city of El Geneina were mercenaries from West Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
