Hemedti said they have formed a fact finding committee to head immediately to Al Ginaina town to investigate the assassination of West Darfur Governor and they are ready to cooperate with any independent investigation body on this issue.
Hemedti’s voice recorded statement came at a time Sudanese people have been circulating reports for more than a month that he was killed during one of the battles with the army. Some of these reports state that artificial intelligence has been in the use for faking his audio recordings.
The Saudi Arabia Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday, that minister Faisal bin Farhan made separate phone calls with the Commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces Abdul Fatah Al Burhan and with the Commander of the Rapid Support Forces Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo ‘Hemedti’. The minister discussed with the two commanders the situation in the Sudan.
Hemedti said in the audio recording “we have reports about the army intelligence having provided some parties in West Darfur with weapons to encourage fighting among the people”.
He said they have evidences that the army was carrying out recruitment among Darfur tribesmen with the aim of instigating a tribal war in the region.
Hemedti said the fighting between his troops and the army will result in the establishment of a democratic civilian rule in the country.
