KHARTOUM: Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized a private plane that attempted to smuggle a large amount of gold on Thursday, the RSF’s Facebook page reported.
The plane, that belonged to a foreign company, was seized by the RSF in Sudan’s River Nile state, the forces said.
The aircraft was due to land at Khartoum International Airport within the next few hours, according to the RSF.
The RSF grew out of the government-backed Janjaweed militia and is headed by Lt Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
