Press Statement

28/25

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs received with keen appreciation and welcome the press statement issued by the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) following its meeting today. The statement included a clear and unequivocal condemnation of the announcement made by the RSF militia and its affiliates regarding the establishment of a parallel government and expressed grave concern about this move, warning of the huge risks it poses to the unity of Sudan and the potential for its partitioning.

The African Peace and Security Council called, in its statement, on all member states and the international community as a whole not to recognize any government or entity attempting to partition Sudan or govern any part of its territories or institutions. The Council also called on African countries and the international community to refrain from supporting or assisting any armed or political group towards establishing a parallel government or state in Sudan.

The PSC confirmed that it does not recognize the purported parallel government, reiterating its commitment to preserving Sudan’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.

This strong position reflects the full commitment to the principles upon which Pan-Africanism has been founded, as expressed in the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and previously in the Charter of the Organization of African Unity, the Charter of the United Nations, and all the rules upon which the contemporary international system is based. The most important of these principles are the preservation of state sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, and the rejection of interference in the internal affairs of states.

This principled and decisive position from the continental mother organization underscores the international community’s total rejection of the conspiracy of the genocidal RSF militia and its regional sponsor, along with those who follow its directives in the region, against the unity and sovereignty of Sudan. This has been expressed in the statements of the United Nations Secretary-General, the United Nations Security Council, the Arab League, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, the EU, and the brotherly countries and influential members of the international community.

Sudan renews its appreciation for these clear positions that are consistent with international law, which constitute strong support to the Sudanese people and their national institutions in defending their sovereignty, unity, dignity, and independence.
