Why are the Sudanese Armed Forces winning the hearts of civilians in the ongoing conflict?

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have gained civilian support because of how they've conducted themselves during the conflict. Despite having problems, the SAF has behaved significantly better than the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has committed severe atrocities against civilians. This improved conduct has allowed the SAF to win the hearts of many people on the ground who have suffered under RSF control for almost two years. As the SAF achieves military successes against the paramilitary forces, civilians who experienced the harsh realities of RSF occupation are increasingly supporting the national army's efforts.
