Sudanese army returns seized property to RSF defector

May 5, 2026 (KHARTOUM) – A high-ranking defector from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has recovered a multi-story property in Khartoum North’s upscale Kafouri district, security sources told Sudan Tribune.

Major General Al-Nour Ahmed Adam, known as “Al-Qubba,” took possession of the building last week. The property had been held by the General Intelligence Service’s Operations Department since the Sudanese army consolidated control over the capital in March 2025.

Sources indicated that the return of the property and the unfreezing of bank accounts are part of an agreement reached when Al-Qubba abandoned the RSF. Upon his defection in April, Al-Qubba, formerly considered the RSF’s “third man,” was received by Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who reportedly returned the general’s private vehicle at that time.

The move raises questions regarding the fate of numerous high-value properties owned by RSF leaders across Khartoum, including sites in Al-Amarat, Taif, and Jabra.

Separately, Darfur Region Governor Minni Arko Minawi met with Al-Qubba in Khartoum on Tuesday. In a Facebook statement, Minawi called for national reconciliation and praised those who chose to join the peace process.

Minawi urged Sudanese citizens to move beyond the bitterness of the conflict to build a unified state. He reiterated that the nation remains open to those who prioritize the country’s interests over violence.
