Khartoum — The Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) has filed a criminal complaint against National Umma Party (NUP) leader, Imam Sadiq El Mahdi, on Monday, charging him with defamation and breaching public safety. Yasir Arman, the secretary general of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) has warned for the consequences of the recent recruitment of about 29,000 Janjaweed forces among Sudanese, Chadian, and Mali tribesmen.
In a press conference last week at the NUP's headquarters in Omdurman, El Mahdi had accused the RSF, commanded by the NISS, of committing war crimes, rapes, and the looting and burning of villages in Darfur, in addition to recruiting non-Sudanese nationals, and operating beyond the scope of the regular armed troops.
