Sudanese Tribes Warn of the Threat Posed by the Muslim Brotherhood Militias… How Did They Respond?

A Sudanese tribe has announced its plan to establish a military force within Khartoum State to counter certain factions, whose names were not disclosed, that have opened recruitment offices in the tribe’s areas of influence.

In a statement issued by Montasser Khaled Sediq, the chief of the Batahin tribe, and reported by Al-Rakoba news agency, it was explained that the decision to form this military force was driven by the rise of various popular armed groups across Sudan. Some of these groups have begun setting up offices within the tribe’s territories, potentially leading to conflicts and chaos.

The statement emphasized that members of the tribe refuse to fight under a banner that does not bear their name or to be led by an authority that does not represent them. Therefore, it is essential that the leadership of this force be composed of individuals from the region.

Furthermore, the statement revealed that tribe members across Sudan have been instructed to register immediately. Lists of both former and new recruits must be compiled and sent to the office of the tribal chief.

It is worth noting that Khartoum State has witnessed significant activity by militias affiliated with the Islamist movement (Muslim Brotherhood), which have been opening recruitment centers and enlisting young fighters. These militias benefit from substantial financial and logistical resources, giving them a considerable advantage over other armed factions.
