Hemeti says Burhan will either be hand over to face justice or be killed

The commander of the powerful Sudanese paramilitary group, the RSF, said army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan will either be handed over authorities to face justice or be killed.

In an explosive interview with Al Jazeera Mubasher on Saturday, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who is better known as Hemeti, lashed out at Burhan and accused army leaders of seeking to carry out a coup.

Hemeti and Burhan have maintained an uneasy alliance since an October 2021 coup led by Burhan, which saw the military replace Sudan's transitional civilian-led government. 

The two men have different sources of power and wealth, as well as different international sponsors. 

But the latest tensions between the army and the RSF have been rooted in the integration of the paramilitary into the military, and disagreements over what authority should oversee the process.
