ref(s) for Yemeni civil war involvement

https://jamestown.org/program/sudans-controversial-rapid-support-forces-bolsters-saudi-efforts-yemen/ seems like a good, reasonably NPOV, reference. Boud (talk) 22:15, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

July 31, 2019: I'm thinking of removing an unsupported sentence in Rapid Support Forces (a sentence that, coincidentally, also needs rapid support, hee, hee). In the section: Yemeni Civil War, someone from network site:31.216.0.210 contributed this sentence: "Also there evidences that there is many peoples from Boko Haram has joined to Rapid Forces to help Yemen war." on 3 July 2019‎. Actually, not so much "contributed" as "shoehorned" in front of existing references (gaining only waning, albeit very rapid, support). After searching the four references and the web, I couldn't find supporting evidence for this statement. I tried and failed. I'm: User:Jeffreydavidspeck talk and I'll remove this (one) sentence: "Also, there is evidence that many people from Boko Haram have joined the Rapid Forces in order to fight in Yemen." (after having rewritten it) in about a week unless I hear different. (Done. My first delete on Wikipedia! But this isn't my area of expertise, anyway.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffreydavidspeck (talk • contribs) 8:52, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Make this thread trusted editors only

Keeps getting vandalized 2600:1700:9125:C010:E989:1C6:CDDC:CE45 (talk) 11:14, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:RVAN for a guide to how to handle vandalism and how to suggest page semiprotection if that seems to be justified. My impression from a quick glance is that currently IP editors (like yourself) are doing more good edits than vandalism. Boud (talk) 22:39, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Human rights violations by the Rapid Support Forces (Sudan) into Rapid Support Forces

There doesn't seem to be a need for a stand-alone article. Human rights violations can be discussed in the primary article per WP:CFORK. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 11:03, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: for now, as the current article does not even scratch the surface when it comes to the - very well documented - human rights violations conducted by the RSF. Not to slam the author but you could have just paraphrased stuff from Khartoum massacre, 2023 Sudan conflict, Yemeni civil war (2014–present) and Darfur war and that would have made the article acceptable. I think once the section of violation gets big enough it can be then moved to a separate article. Happy to collaborate FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:54, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Per nom. The Night Watch (talk) 05:03, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Agree, the issues could just be a subtopic. Nobody expects the UnexpectedSmoreInquisition (talk)! 00:11, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 13:07, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Israel supports RSF

I think you forgot Israel’s support for the RSF. Please add this up.. Ahmad.R.K (talk) 13:19, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Logo change section

The word 'Quds' in the logo was simply an acronym for the Rapid Support Forces in Arabic, which coincidentally shares the same spelling as the Arabic word for Jerusalem. The section attempts to draw connections between this acronym and relations with Israel, but there is no reliable evidence to support this claim. Therefore, I suggest removing the section, as it is redundant and the logo change isn't significant enough to warrant its own section. Anwon (talk) 09:09, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's also worth mentioning that the 'Quds' part is still present on RSF's Twitter and their Official site. There are many variations of RSF logo in use such as this one where the text is put into the Sudanese flag. Anwon (talk) 09:14, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

that section is well sourced. Unless you have problem with sources or have reliable sources that support your point, it will be hard to remove that section. FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
