RSF Media Outlets Drag Prestigious British Newspaper into Professional Scandal

Sudanhorizon – Exclusive
Media room outlets affiliated to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia have dragged the prestigious British newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, in what could only be described as a “professional scandal.”
These rooms have fabricated an entire story claiming that the Sudanese suspect in the Belfast attack in Northern Ireland was a former police officer from Karima area, northern Sudan, according to the newspaper’s Thursday edition.
The British newspaper based its story on the testimony of an alleged friend of the suspect residing in Libya. This friend reportedly stated that he, the suspect, and his two brothers left Sudan for Libya after the outbreak of the war, intending to cross to Europe by sea. The three brothers were able to reach Europe, while the friend was unable to do so. However, the same newspaper had previously reported, citing Northern Ireland police, that the suspect arrived in Belfast from Dublin in February 2023 – that is prior to the outbreak of the war which erupted on the 15th of April 2023.
The newspaper quoted the suspect’s alleged friend as saying that the man had briefly joined the Sudanese police force in 2022, and that when the war broke out, he decided to travel to Europe via Libya and then across the Mediterranean to France.
However, the investigative team at the news website “Sudanhorizon” probed the details of the story published by the British newspaper and found it to be entirely fabricated.
The suspect’s name is Al-Hadi Ibrahim Daoud Al-Ubaid, his mother’s name is Aisha Abkar Hamdan, and his father was born in Al-Daein, while he himself was born in Saudi Arabia, as the newspaper claimed.
“Sudanhorizon ” confirmed that the suspect had never been affiliated with the Sudanese police force or any other official force, nor does he hail from a prominent family in Sudanese politics, and he has no roots in the Karima region.
A criminal investigation expert, speaking to Sudanhorizon , suggested that the suspect’s arrival in Belfast in February 2023 by plane from Paris might indicate that he had been residing in France for some time before obtaining a refugee travel document; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to travel by plane.
This conclusion undermines the account of the alleged friend relied upon by the British newspaper, as those who migrate from Libya by sea to France also arrive by boat in Britain due to the short distance. Furthermore, according to the expert, it is illogical for them to travel to the Republic of Ireland before coming to Britain.
Sudanhorizon had previously published news of the attack in Belfast, Ireland. The report, which was carried by several news agencies, stated that a 30-year-old Sudanese male attacked another person with a knife in a public place. Following the attack, several asylum seekers’ homes were set on fire, prompting the Irish Prime Minister to condemn the act.
Sudanhorizon has noted that websites affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces militia have enormously celebrated what the British newspaper reported, widely circulated the said report, and added new attributes to the suspect, claiming that he had extremist and terrorist backgrounds.
