The force was formed in 2013 to combat Sudanese armed rebel groups and later to protect the borders, and to maintain order in the country under the command of the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS).
According to an RSF report examined by Morocco Telegraph, recorded the efforts RSF is doing to combat illegal migration as per its strategic goals, the RSF is aimed at preventing illegal migration and preventing human trafficking as a challenge to Sudan’s social peace and security and taking full responsibility for the issue in order to achieve stability.

The collection of firearms enhances the reputation of the state by preventing insurgents from carrying out their crimes and achieve security and stability in Sudan’s community.
