Sudan: A new chief of staff amid war to thwart RSF plans

General Yassir al-Atta has been appointed chief of staff of the Sudanese armed forces, replacing Othman al-Hussein, amid an intense war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This change comes as the conflict expands to new regions, including the Blue Nile State, and the army faces increasing challenges. Al-Atta, known for his hostility towards the RSF, may strengthen a more aggressive military approach at the expense of political solutions.
