ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - The leader of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo visited Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa on Thursday in the second leg of a rare publicly-announced foreign tour.

In his first confirmed appearance outside of Sudan since the war between RSF and the Sudanese army broke out in mid-April, Dagalo, whose whereabouts during the war have been unknown, met Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni at his country home on Wednesday.
