RSF's commander Dagalo sworn in as head of parallel government in Sudan

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo has been sworn in as the head of a parallel government in Sudan.

In a statement on Sunday, the Sudanese Founding Alliance, a coalition led by the RSF, said Dagalo took the oath of office in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur State in western Sudan.

It said Abdelaziz Adam al-Hilu was sworn in as Dagalo’s deputy, along with members of a 13-seat presidential council.

On July 26, the coalition announced the formation of a parallel government, led by Dagalo.
