Omar Jaboura Explains His Defection, Rejects Claims That Darfur Backs the Rapid Support Militia and Alleges Foreign Backing and Fighters Sudanese Echo | November 13, 2026 Omar Osman Jaboura, a prominent leader of the Misseriya tribe in Central Darfur, has explained his decision to defect from the UAE-backed Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed), citing widespread killings, looting, and the deprivation of basic services in areas under its control. Speaking from Khartoum in an interview with Al Hadath television, Jaboura also described the presence of foreign fighters, including Ukrainians and Colombians, and revealed that he had received extensive support from communities and military commanders in Darfur and Kordofan following his defection. Jaboura announced his departure from the militia and his decision to join the Sudanese Armed Forces on November 12, urging young men recruited into its ranks to abandon it immediately. He explained that his decision was recent and followed his growing conviction that the militia was responsible for widespread abuses against civilians and the deterioration of living conditions in territories under its control. According to Jaboura, he received hundreds, possibly thousands, of text messages, voice recordings, and telephone calls from Darfur and Kordofan congratulating him on his decision. He said the overwhelming response demonstrated widespread rejection of the militia among local communities. He added that military personnel remained in those regions and that he expected more of them to follow his example. Jaboura also claimed that numerous military commanders had reached similar conclusions after realizing they had been misled and exploited by the militia's leadership. Using a Sudanese colloquial expression, he said, "They fooled us." He explained that some commanders had defected before him, others had joined him in leaving, and further defections were expected in the coming days. Some, he said, were still attempting to find safe routes to reach him. Rejecting the portrayal of Darfur as a popular stronghold of the militia, Jaboura insisted that its leadership had deliberately promoted a misleading narrative about the region's support. He argued that genuine backing was largely confined to individuals benefiting from the militia's activities, including certain figures within traditional tribal administrations and a small number of individuals involved in criminal activities. He described civilians in militia-controlled areas of Darfur and Kordofan as effectively living under house arrest, deprived of security, freedom of movement, and essential public services. Addressing the political forces associated with the militia, Jaboura identified factions of the National Umma Party, the Democratic Unionist Party, and the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, alongside smaller political groups. He accused these factions of supporting whichever armed actor they believed could restore them to political power. Jaboura described the militia as part of a foreign-backed project serving outside interests in Sudan. He said its ranks included fighters from Niger, Chad and the Central African Republic. He also said people were operating inside Sudan and wreaking havoc in the country. He identified some of those involved as Israeli operatives and said Colombians and Ukrainians were among those carrying out the operations. He accused those involved of exploiting the vulnerability of local communities, particularly nomadic groups with limited access to education. His references to Ukrainian and Colombian personnel are particularly significant in light of an exclusive investigation published by Sudanese Echo on November 12, which reported that several Emirati aircraft had arrived in Nyala, South Darfur, between November 2 and 11, carrying 521 Ukrainian and Colombian specialists in air defense systems and aircraft maintenance. In that report, Sudanese Echo examined the timing of the reported arrivals against two parallel developments: an escalating campaign of drone attacks targeting Sudan's civilian infrastructure, particularly electricity generation and distribution facilities, and the increasing number of hostile drones intercepted by the Sudanese Armed Forces. The report explored the possibility that the specialists were being deployed both to sustain or intensify the militia's aerial operations and to address mounting aircraft losses through maintenance, technical support, and improved air defenses. Jaboura's statements provide an additional account from a recently defected tribal leader concerning the presence of Ukrainian and Colombian nationals within the militia's operations. However, his remarks do not independently establish the reported number of specialists, the details of the flights, or their specific military assignments. Turning to recruitment practices, Jaboura accused the militia of exploiting limited access to education, particularly among nomadic communities, to recruit young men through ethnic and regional propaganda. He said recruits were systematically exposed to narratives portraying other Sudanese communities as responsible for their deprivation and historical marginalization, encouraging hostility and violence against them. He also described the training of some recruits to operate military drones and alleged that militia personnel distributed pills that impaired their judgment and awareness. According to Jaboura, some young fighters had developed serious psychological difficulties, raising concerns about their ability to reintegrate into their communities after leaving the militia. Discussing atrocities committed in Darfur, Jaboura referred to events in El Fasher and the actions of a militia fighter known as Abu Lulu. He highlighted the killing of a man he described as a Quranic school teacher and mosque imam, who was reportedly executed in front of cameras. Jaboura also spoke about the killing of traditional tribal leaders in Tulus, Nyala, Bulbul, and other areas, accusing the militia of eliminating opponents in El Geneina. He warned that the militia's use of ethnic divisions, particularly the historical distinction between "Arabs" and "Zurga," a term used in Sudan for non-Arab communities, was deliberately inflaming tensions between communities and threatening Darfur's social fabric. Jaboura's interview comes amid a series of defections from the UAE-backed militia, with former commanders increasingly criticizing its leadership, internal power structures, treatment of civilians, and reliance on foreign support. His testimony also challenges efforts to portray Darfur and Kordofan as regions united behind the Janjaweed, emphasizing the distinction between the militia's leadership and the diverse communities living under its control. #Sudan #RSFisTerroristOrganization #UAEKillsSudanesePeople #UAESponsorsTerrorism
