RSF officials accused of atrocities met with Israeli officials during Sudan civil war - report
Africa Intelligence reported that members of RSF met with officials from the Africa Division of Israel's Foreign Ministry and with Israeli intelligence personnel.
Two delegations from Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) secretly visited Israel during the country's civil war, according to a report by French investigative outlet Africa Intelligence. The first delegation, which included RSF deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, and his brother Algoney Hamdan Dagalo, traveled to Tel Aviv in May 2025.
The second delegation, led by RSF's legal adviser, visited Israel in February 2026. Both delegations met with officials from Israel's Africa Division and Israeli intelligence personnel. The report claims that this is part of a long-standing security and intelligence relationship between RSF and Israel that began before Sudan's civil war in April 2023.
While the allegations are serious, Africa Intelligence clarifies that they are not official confirmation of Israel's assistance to RSF during the war. The RSF has previously been accused of committing mass atrocities, including genocide, in Darfur, but the organization denies these claims.
