[Dabanga] Social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) has suspended the accounts of the commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Lt Gen Mohamed 'Hemedti' Dagalo, as well as four other RSF field commanders, in a move that echoes earlier shut downs by Facebook and YouTube. Both warring parties in Sudan have used social media platforms extensively as a conduit for often unverifiable 'information', claims, and counter claims, since the outbreak of the current hostilities in April 2023.
