The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed unhappiness with Kenya on Tuesday in a press release for hosting Sudanese opposition organizations, notably the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), in Nairobi.
The Sudanese foreign ministry expressed regret for the Kenyan government’s disregard for its obligations under international law, the Charter of the United Nations, the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide by hosting the event of signing a so-called “political agreement” between the terrorist Janjaweed militia—responsible for ongoing acts of genocide in Sudan—and its affiliated individuals and groups.
“Given that the stated objective of this agreement is to establish a parallel government on part of Sudanese territory, this move promotes the dismembering of African states, violates their sovereignty, and interferes in their internal affairs. This is, therefore, a clear breach of the UN Charter, the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and the established principles of the contemporary international order,” the statement reads in part. “Furthermore, hosting leaders of the terrorist RSF militia and allowing them to conduct political and propaganda activities—while they continue to perpetrate genocide, massacre civilians on an ethnic basis, attack IDP camps, and commit acts of rape—constitutes an endorsement of and complicity in these heinous crimes.”
“Equally, this action by the Kenyan government not only violates the principles of good neighborliness but also contravenes the pledges Kenya has made at the highest levels not to allow hostile activities against Sudan to be carried out on its soil. It is, therefore, tantamount to an act of hostility against the entire Sudanese people,” the statement added.
According to the Sudanese foreign ministry, “this propaganda stunt will have no impact on the ground, as the Sudanese Armed Forces, along with joint and supporting forces—backed by the Sudanese people—remain resolute in their determination to liberate every inch of Sudanese territory desecrated by the terrorist militia and its foreign mercenaries.”
The statement stated that, while the Ministry calls on the international community to denounce the Kenyan government’s unfriendly behavior, it would take all necessary steps to restore the balance.
Relatedly, Gen. Yasser Al-Atta, a member of Sudan’s Sovereign Council and assistant commander-in-chief of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), stated on Tuesday that Sudan will “fight anyone who seeks to establish a parallel government.”
He made the statements while addressing SAF soldiers in Al Dabba Town, northern Sudan, following the start of an opposition meeting called “The Founding Alliance of Sudan” in Nairobi, Kenya.
“To those who say they will form a parallel government, we will fight them on every inch of Sudanese land,” Al-Atta stressed. “We will teach the enemy (RSF) and the conspiratorial countries lessons in patriotism. The Sudanese people have now become the army of the Sudanese nation.”
The conference was opened by leaders of various armed groups and political figures, including National Umma Party leader Fadlallah Burma Nasir, Abdelrahim Dagalo, deputy commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and Abdelaziz al-Hilu, chairman of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North.
Fadlallah Burm Nasir, head of the National Umma Party, has declared that a political statement will be signed on Friday, February 21, 2025.
