Ethiopia builds secret camp to train Sudan RSF fighters, sources say
Satellite imagery taken on November 24 shows more than 640 four-metre-square tents at the camp, indicating accommodation capacity for at least 2,500 people.
Ethiopia is hosting a secret camp to train thousands of fighters for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group in neighbouring Sudan, Reuters reporting has found, in the latest sign that one of the world’s deadliest conflicts is sucking in regional powers from Africa and the Middle East.
The camp constitutes the first direct evidence of Ethiopia’s involvement in Sudan’s civil war, marking a potentially dangerous development that provides the RSF a substantial supply of fresh soldiers as fighting escalates in Sudan’s south.
