<p>The UK does not routinely engage with Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF). There
are not officially published figures of the number of personnel within the RSF, although
there have been publically reported graduation ceremonies for over 9,000 RSF members
between May 2017 and April 2019. In a public address in Khartoum on 22 June, Mohamed
Hamdan Dagolo (known as Hemetti), Commander of the RSF and Deputy Chair of the Transitional
Military Council, stated that there are 30,000 Sudanese soldiers are in Yemen. We
cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information nor can we assess how much of this
deployment is RSF. In light of this statement and given recent recruitment it is likely
that the total numbers of RSF are above 30,000.</p>
