Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo vs Saw Maung

Dagalo led the RSF (then Janjaweed) in the Darfur conflict, where they were accused of war crimes, including ethnic cleansing and mass atrocities against non-Arab populations. The conflict resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions displaced.

Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo was appointed Commander of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group formed from Janjaweed militias. The RSF became a key force in Sudan's conflicts, including the Darfur war and later the 2023 civil war.

Dagalo was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, making him the second-highest ranking official in Sudan's transitional government. This position gave him significant political power alongside General al-Burhan.

Dagalo's RSF launched a major offensive against the Sudanese Armed Forces in April 2023, triggering a full-scale civil war. The conflict caused widespread destruction, a humanitarian crisis, and the displacement of millions in Sudan.

As Chairman of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), Saw Maung ordered a violent crackdown on pro-democracy protests across Burma. Thousands of civilians were killed or arrested, effectively ending the 8888 Uprising.

Saw Maung led a military coup that overthrew the civilian government of President Maung Maung. He established the SLORC, a military junta that ruled Burma with absolute authority, suspending the constitution.

The SLORC under Saw Maung officially changed the country's English name from Burma to Myanmar, and the capital Rangoon to Yangon. The move was controversial and not recognized by many democratic nations.

Saw Maung resigned as Chairman of the SLORC, reportedly due to health reasons. He was succeeded by General Than Shwe, who continued the military regime's policies.
