A commentary argues that even if all the world’s journalists were mobilized, the Sudanese people would not be persuaded of the good conduct of those who sided with the Rapid Support Forces after April 15, 2023. It says the author has stayed silent about criticizing such people for now because the larger battle is national liberation, not individuals, and there is no room for other downfalls. The piece also includes a remark attributed to El-Safna comparing his role during the war to the character Raafat and a reference to Sudanfax.
