But they fell out over the phrases and timing of a deliberate transition to civilian rule and neither man has proven he’s prepared for concessions, with the military controlling air energy and the RSF dug deep into metropolis districts.

Hemedti’s RSF has deals of arms-for-gold with Russia’s Wagner’s mercenaries.
He was killed shortly after giving a television interview on Wednesday in which he criticized the RSF.
