Major General Ali Yacoub Gibril, from the Rapid Support Forces (the rebels), was killed today in the city of Darfur by the Sudanese army.
Yaakov had an important position in the coup attempt in the country and a painful response from rapid support forces is expected, according to statements in Sudan.
With the killing of commander Ali Yakoub, the Daqlo militia lost its grip on the outskirts of El Fasher, Sudan.
Reliable sources from El Fasher reported moments ago the news of the death and demise of militia commander Ali Yakoub, who was notorious for his extreme violence and boundless animosity towards the true inhabitants of Darfur region, including the Fur, Zaghawa, Qimir, Masalit, and Berti tribes. He was known for spreading audio recordings reeking of racism and ethnic superiority, and was the author of ethnic cleansing rhetoric there.
