RSF commander defects with 300 troops, 30 vehicles in Sudan

Lt. Col. Mohammed Azraq al-Fanjari, a special tasks commander in Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), defected with 300 officers and soldiers and 30 combat vehicles. This marks a notable erosion of RSF cohesion amid the ongoing civil war, though the strategic impact depends on whether this triggers further defections or shifts local control.
