Yousif Ezzat, once political adviser to Sudan's RSF commander, was freed by Chad after about 13 months, his family says. No reason has been published. The post Family Says Chad Freed Sudan Ex-Adviser appeared first on The Rio Times .
Chad has released Yousif Ibrahim Ezzat, the ex-political adviser to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander, after holding him captive for approximately 13 months, according to his family. The family reported Ezzat's release on November 14, 2026, stating that the transfer occurred on November 12, 2026. The RSF is a paramilitary force in Sudan that has been battling the country's army since April 2023.
The family claims Ezzat was never charged and no statements from Chad's government have been made regarding his arrest or release. Ezzat left the RSF's inner circle in 2024 and his family alleges that Chadian forces apprehended him on October 11, 2025, at the Adre crossing, where eastern Chad meets West Darfur, Sudan's far western state.
The family names General Saleh Abdullah Jar, a Chadian general, as the arresting officer and states that Ezzat was detained without access to his relatives. No official reason for his detention has been published.
