The fight is raging, with the army saying that it has bombarded RSF positions in front of the city of El-Fasher, forcing hundreds of thousands to escape from the Zamzam refugee camp.
Hemedti said RSF was building a “status of law” and not a state governed by persons.
“We are not seeking domination, but unity. We believe that no tribe, region or religion possesses a monopoly on Sudanese identity,” said his statement of Telegram.
He added that his government would provide basic services such as education and healthcare not only for RSF -controlled areas but also throughout the country.
More than 400 people have been killed in the latest RSF attacks, according to the UN, citing “credible sources”.
Two years in the war, both the army and RSF have been charged with war crimes, including genocide and mass sexual abuse.
Hemedti was closed in the fight for power with the Sudan Army chief, Gen Abdel Fatah Al Burhan on April 15, 2023, creating a humanitarian crisis that took more than 150,000 lives and displaced more than 12 million people.
The latest battles in the capital of Northern Darfur, El-Fasher, have forced tens of thousands of civilians from the Zamzam refugee camp to travel 70 km (43 miles) to the town of Tavila, according to MSF medical charity.

Humanitarian agencies report that more than 700,000 people in temporary camps around El-Fasher face, such as security and obstacles, threatening the provision of critical assistance.
During an international meeting on Tuesday, the United Kingdom promised an additional £ 120 million ($ 159 million) and medical care, calling for the world not to turn Sudan's back.
“Many have given up on Sudan – this is wrong – it is morally wrong when we see so many civilian beheaded, babies, young as one, subject to sexual violence, more people are hungry than anywhere else in the world … We just can't look away,” Lamie said.
The conference also called for an immediate and constant ceasefire, but the African Union said it would not allow the country to be separated from the army and RSF.
