The Republic of Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a strong statement following the alarming developments regarding the so-called political agreement between a terrorist militia and its affiliates in Sudan.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, the Ministry voiced its concern over the militia’s efforts to establish a governmental authority in areas under its control, a move it warns could severely exacerbate the ongoing crisis and lead to further fragmentation of the nation.
The statement came in response to comments from United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, who expressed his deep concern over the militia’s actions.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the statements of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Antonio Guterres, in which he expressed his deep concern over the signing of the so-called political agreement between the terrorist militia and its affiliates to establish a “governmental authority” in the areas controlled by the militia.”
Guterres called out the escalating situation, which he described as a direct threat to Sudan’s unity and territorial integrity.
He reiterated that maintaining Sudan’s sovereignty and cohesion remains critical for achieving lasting peace and stability, not just within Sudan but across the broader region.
The Secretary-General’s concerns were first raised during the initial meetings between the militia and its supporters, which were held under the auspices of the Kenyan presidency.
At the time, Guterres warned that the formation of a parallel government would only complicate the situation, further entrenching divisions and impeding peace efforts.
Robust support
Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also highlighted the robust support they have received from regional and international allies.
The Arab League condemned the threat to Sudan’s unity and sovereignty, aligning with Sudan’s position against any actions that could destabilize the country.
The Ministry particularly commended the Arab Republic of Egypt, the State of Qatar, and the Federal Republic of Somalia for their strong stances in defense of Sudan’s territorial integrity.
“The Ministry also commends the position of the Arab League, which rejects the threat to Sudan’s unity and the violation of its sovereignty, and the similar strong positions issued by a number of sister countries, most notably the Arab Republic of Egypt, the State of Qatar, and the Federal Republic of Somalia.”
In addition, the Ministry renewed its call to the international and regional communities to reject the actions of the Kenyan leadership, which it accuses of threatening regional security and violating Sudan’s sovereignty.
“We renew our call to international and regional organizations and all countries to reject the dangerous behavior of the Kenyan leadership, which threatens regional security and peace and violates the sovereignty of Sudan.”
The Sudanese Foreign Affairs Ministry has called for the intervention of the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN) after Rapid Support Forces (RSF) signed a charter in Nairobi.
Kenya condemened
Earlier, the ministry had taken aim at the Kenyan government, calling out its move to welcome the signing of the political charter by the RSF in Nairobi.
The ministry noted that the move posed serious threats to regional peace and security and added that the country will continue to take drastic security measures.
“This requires the African Union, the United Nations, and all international and regional organizations to play their role in the face of this serious threat to regional peace and security, tampering with the foundations of the contemporary international system, and encouraging the fragmentation of African countries and the violation of their sovereignty.
In the statement, the Sudanese government also called out Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary and CS for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Musalia Mudavadi, for welcoming the signing, noting that the deal the RSF group signed was not a peace deal but was to form a parallel government.
“The Kenyan Prime Minister and Foreign Minister issued a statement on his official website on the X platform, welcoming the signing of the so-called political charter between the terrorist Janjaweed militia and its followers to form a parallel government. This agreement calls for tearing Sudan apart by recognizing the right to self-determination for what it called the Sudanese peoples and regions.
