Hemedti in a sentence

Egypt openly backed the coup, Israel relied on al-Burhan for normalising relations, and the red carpet was rolled out in Istanbul for al-Burhan and Hemedti.

Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti, is the leader of the RSF and has been the deputy of Sudan's ruling council since 2019.

Hemedti showed little tolerance for dissent.

Hemedti’s RSF has deals of arms-for-gold with Russia’s Wagner’s mercenaries.

In recent years, Hemedti has been invited to capitals around the world, including Moscow, Cairo and Abu Dhabi.

Ismaeil said he became a political adviser to the RSF because he's been following Hemedti since the revolution in Sudan in 2019 which resulted in the ousting of the autocratic former president, Omar al-Bashir.

It’s essentially a power struggle between the leader of the Sudanese army, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the leader of the paramilitary group the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (also known as the Hemedti).

On Friday, army leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said he would never sit down with the RSF’s “rebel” leader, referring to General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti.

That scenario needs to be prevented in a way that ensures the political and military calculations of Hemedti, Burhan, and their supporters change when serious negotiations to restore a civilian government resume.

The RSF is also believed to have good relations with Yemen, as Hemedti sent thousands of RSF mercenaries there to fight Iran-aligned Houthi fighters, allying with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Through this, Hemedti and his clique managed to build international influence, and to enrich themselves massively in the process.

Under international pressure, Burhan and Hemedti agreed last December to a with political parties and pro-democracy groups.

While Burhan signed the deal only under heavy external pressure, Hemedti championed it, due to clauses he saw as giving him autonomy from Burhan and the army.

Regional powers and neighbours have lined up behind either of the at the centre of the conflict: Abdel Fattah al-Burhan of the Sudanese Armed Forces and Mohamed “Hemedti” Dagalo of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

But insiders claim that Bashir stepped down only when Hemedti refused to use the RSF to crush the demonstrations.

Hemedti denies that the men he commands perpetrated atrocities, either in their former guise as the Janjaweed or more recently as the RSF.

Koko Muhammad Jagdoul told Eye Radio that they had initially written a letter of protest to the mediators over the participation of Hemedti, but were reportedly ignored.

Their leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, is believed to be the most powerful military representative on the new transitional authority.

The Transitional Military Council’s spokesman Lt. Gen. Shanseldin Kabbashi was part of the delegation of deputy TMC head Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” who is currently in Saudi Arabia.

This gave rise to their unchecked power in the country and to their ruling general, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti.
