Using Janjaweed and the Rapid Support Forces interchangeably

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Janjaweed and RSF are not interchangeable, see Musa Hilal (Janjaweed leader) comments here and here where he support the Sudanese Armed Force's against the RSF during the current civil war plus factions from the Janjaweed in al-Bashir era were integrated into the Popular Defence Forces, Central Reserve Forces (under Ali Kushayb), and National Intelligence and Security Services FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:07, 8 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

The Arabic at the top of the article has not a single letter common with Janjaweed. الفاسقات is al-fasiqat, sinful women. Makes no sense. Please consider updating it, I am not an expert on this matter. Plukasz (talk) 09:52, 2 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Plukasz. Thank you, this has been resolved. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 23:54, 5 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Isn't it a bit anachronistic to put anti-Islamism as one of their ideologies?

AFAIK this only applies to the modern RSF and not the historical Janjaweed. If it does apply to the Janjaweed then it should use a different citation, since the Guardian article used as a source only mentions the modern RSF. 2607:FEA8:86DF:FD5C:95CA:DBF7:4BDC:87C8 (talk) 01:03, 4 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I removed the following:

According to Darfuris, "Janjaweed" is a word from the Chadian dialect of Arabic that is used for criminals, naughty people, unruly children, etc.^{[citation needed]}
