Sudan People's Armed Forces is the name used by the Library of Congress Country Study of 1991. It is now obsolete - all reliable sources use SAF. You will see from the ANI discussion that my decision to move the page is supported by authoritative sources - the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the Small Arms Survey, and indeed the United Nations Security Council reports.
