Press Statement

The Government of Sudan wishes to draw the attention of the regional and international communities to the scale of the conspiracy targeting the Sudanese state, manifested in the aggression carried out by the so-called Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Militia and the foreign mercenaries fighting alongside them since the outbreak of the terrorist militia’s rebellion on the 15th of April, 2023.

The Government of Sudan has consistently highlighted the involvement of hundreds of thousands of mercenaries from neighboring countries and beyond the African continent in this aggression. This unprecedented phenomenon poses a serious threat to peace and security in the region and across the continent. It establishes a new and dangerous precedent—one that undermines state sovereignty, violates international norms, and transforms the conflict into a transnational terrorist proxy war.

The Government of Sudan possesses irrefutable evidence and documentation confirming the involvement of mercenaries from the Republic of Colombia and certain neighboring countries, sponsored and financed by the authorities in Abu Dhabi. The Permanent Mission of Sudan to the United Nations in New York has previously submitted this evidence to the United Nations Security Council. This alarming trend has also been documented by regional and international organizations as well as investigative media reports.

The Government of Sudan warns that this dangerous escalation in the nature of the militia’s aggression constitutes a serious threat to both regional and international peace and security, and cautions against the far-reaching consequences that may arise from it.
