Sudan's Council of Ministers orders maximum mobilization and threatens penalties for alleged RSF collaborators
Published · Updated
What happened
Sudan's Council of Ministers said on 1 November that state bodies should raise mobilization levels and pursue those accused of cooperating with the RSF by providing targeting information. Reporting on 2 November tied the directive to measures to protect electricity facilities, fuel depots, and staff after drone strikes in Kassala.
Why it matters
The government's directive creates a formal basis for internal-security measures in army-held territory after infrastructure strikes. It also connects counter-sabotage policy to electricity and fuel protection, which are immediate state-capacity issues.
On 1 November, Sudan's Council of Ministers, chaired by Prime Minister Kamil Idris, ordered maximum mobilization and instructed authorities to track people accused of passing coordinates to the RSF. By 2 November, ministers were publicly linking that line to the protection of power facilities, fuel stocks, and workers after drone strikes on infrastructure in Kassala. The move establishes a named government mechanism for tighter internal-security action inside SAF-held areas, with a near-term path toward arrests, workplace vetting, and broader coercive controls if attacks continue.
