1. Lack of a Clear Cause:
   The absence of a clear and powerful cause that could inspire and motivate individuals to fight for.
2. Poor Planning:
   Poor military planning and ineffective strategies led to repeated defeats. A lot of blunders were repeatedly committed along the line
3. Deception of Fighters by Leaders:
   Fighters were deceived by leaders with false promises, drugs, and money, leading to a loss of trust and desire to fight
4. Military Blunders:
   Repeated military blunders resulted in significant losses of life and equipment.
5. Absence of Leaders:
   Leaders were absent during critical battles or times, leading to low morale among fighters, including Hemidti, who disappeared from the battle fields only to appear on the media once in a blue moon
6. Lack of Understanding Among Traditional Leaders:
   Leaders lacked a clear understanding of political and military interests, contributing to the advancement of fighters to death without justification.
7. Lies and Hypocrisy of Activists, Media, and Advisors:
   Misleading and false propaganda spread by activists, media, and advisors led to a loss of trust and disappointment by the fighters.
8. Hostility Towards the Sudanese People:
   The Rapid Support Forces’ actions, such as killing, looting, and theft, were considered hostile and detrimental to the Sudanese people’s interests, leading to the hatred and isolation of the group by locals every where

9.Dependence on Politicians and Foreigners:
Over-reliance on politicians who made unrealistic promises, such as removing legitimacy from Burhan, stopping the army from fighting, imposing a no-fly zone, and deploying UN forces, led to a loss of independence and moral collapse.

10. Lack of Air Power:
    The absence of effective air power made it impossible to counter the Sudanese Air Force, which concluded to the decisive battles in favour of the Sudanese Army.

These ten factors combined led to the collapse of the Rapid Support Forces and the deterioration of their military situation on the ground.
