Talk:2023 Sudanese Armed Forces-Rapid Support Forces confrontation

Su-35 0r MiG sightings over Sudan and Blinken Statements

Hello. Do you all suggest we add the plane sightings over Khartoum or are they not notable enough to be included. Also, should I add in statements made by Anthony Blinken in Hanoi? TheWhiterCloud (talk) 10:40, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Well there have been reports of airstrikes, not sure if its related to the sightings though The 64 Squares (talk) 12:21, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Unofficial move request

Didn't want to WP:RM this because the article is unstable, but isn't 2023 Sudan clashes a more WP:CONCISE title? 〜 Festucalex • talk 13:04, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

I guess, but I think it would be better to keep it to this until things (hopefully) settle down. TheWhiterCloud (talk) 13:36, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Requested move 15 April 2023

2023 Sudanese Armed Forces-Rapid Support Forces confrontation → 2023 Sudanese coup d'état attempt – RSF attempted to took over the power. Panam2014 (talk) 13:19, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

• The creator of that article just agreed to move their article to this one. It has also not been confirmed as a coup d'état attempt by any parties. TheWhiterCloud (talk) 13:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

  @TheWhiterCloud: false. RSF called army to rebel against army. Panam2014 (talk) 13:58, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

  But Dagalo and the RSF have not specifically mentioned their desire to take over power within Sudan, I think it would be safer not to jump to conclusions and just call them confrontations or clashes for now. TheWhiterCloud (talk) 14:00, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose as premature. We still don't know what happened. Alternate proposal: Move to 2023 Sudan clashes. That seems more appropriate for the time being. 〜 Festucalex • talk 13:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

  Seconded. TheWhiterCloud (talk) 13:51, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

  Oppose clashes. Panam2014 (talk) 13:58, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Wait. I think that the name will need to be decided when the events end or take on the clear nature of a coup / clashes / war / etc PLATEL (talk) 14:04, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Exactly. TheWhiterCloud (talk) 14:07, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Wait. I would wait until the end of the day in Sudan. Anything could happen Braganza (talk) 15:04, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I think we need to wait The 64 Squares (talk) 17:03, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

I think we need to wait and see if this confrontation becomes something big, like a full out civil war, the SAD forces are already gaining a lot of ground 2601:183:4081:FEA0:EC97:ADB4:DE18:6B7E (talk) 18:07, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

• Wait. The RSF and the SAF and their leaders have been cooperating in opposing the massive civilian resistance in Sudan since December 2018, so while this could be something like an attempt at a "palace coup", it could also be interpreted as the de facto group in power trying to remove the unwanted part of the alliance, so a "strengthening of the government" as opposed to an "overthrow of the government". The current title is long, but it's accurate and neutral. We'll soon know which armed group takes/retains control, and we'll also know the reaction of the civilian population, which has shown incredible stamina in civil disobedience, and doesn't want any military government at all - whichever military group has power will have to live with continued civil disobedience, which might also contribute to how the event should be titled.

How do you format multiple reactions from different people from the same state?

Do you do it in bullet points or all in one paragraph? The 64 Squares (talk) 14:01, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

I guess it's alright to have it as one paragraph because they will all usually be part of the same group or have similar opinions. Using too many bullet points might get a bit confusing in my opinion. TheWhiterCloud (talk) 14:03, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hemedti

@PLATEL: Hemedti is by far the more common name of Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. see here: Better known by the nickname "Hemedti", Gen Dagalo was named deputy chairman of the Transitional Military Council that took over after the army removed Mr Al Bashir... 〜 Festucalex • talk 19:18, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

This is old and google-based, but see also Talk:Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo#Which transliteration should be the default? (Apparently the word should transcription, not transliteration.) Boud (talk) 19:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

map

the map should be improved + it shows Sudan's claimed borders and does not reflect the disputes Braganza (talk) 20:08, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Well you can edit it of you want. Borysk5 (talk) 20:46, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
