30/10/19 AP – Sudan drawing down troops in Yemen in recent months, by Samy Magdy

 AP reports that two anonymous Sudanese officials said that Sudan has recently drawn down its forces taking part in the Saudi-led coalition’s war in Yemen.

 The officials said that “several thousand troops,” mainly from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, returned home over the past two months. They added that RSF commander said he would not return the RSF troops as fighting on the ground in Yemen has dwindled, but a “few thousand” will remain to train Yemeni government forces.
