Egypt firmly rejects the establishment of a parallel Sudanese government, citing risks to national unity and humanitarian issues. The appeal comes amid ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and RSF, which has led to massive displacement and crises. Egypt urges all parties to focus on national interests and engage in inclusive dialogue.
Egypt has expressed its strong disapproval of recent attempts to establish a parallel government in Sudan, emphasizing that such actions could undermine national unity and worsen the humanitarian crisis. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that efforts to create a separate governance structure would further complicate the political landscape in Sudan and impede initiatives aimed at consolidating views among various political factions.
Emphasizing support for Sudan’s national integrity, Egypt urged all Sudanese parties to prioritize their national interests and participate constructively in a comprehensive political dialogue that excludes external influences. The plea came in response to the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) recent signing of a charter in Kenya that facilitates the formation of this alternative government.
Conflicts have raged between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF since April 2023, leading to significant territorial losses and humanitarian setbacks. This prolonged conflict has resulted in tens of thousands of casualties and displaced approximately 12 million individuals, exacerbating food insecurity and health crises in the region.
In light of these developments, Sudan has recalled its ambassador from Kenya as a protest against the Nairobi meeting aimed at discussing the establishment of a parallel governance structure. In contrast, Kenya’s Foreign Minister claimed that the proposed government seeks to restore peace and democratic governance in Sudan, despite warnings that such moves could intensify the ongoing warfare.
Deadly clashes continue between government forces and the RSF, with Sudan contesting the latter’s motives regarding the parallel government, suggesting it is a tactic to legitimize arms acquisition from outside sources. This political turbulence raises concerns regarding the future stability and governance of Sudan, further deepening its humanitarian emergency.
Egypt has voiced its strong opposition to the move for a parallel Sudanese government, highlighting potential risks to national unity and worsening humanitarian conditions. The ongoing conflict has already had devastating effects on the Sudanese population. All parties are urged to engage in constructive dialogue to prioritize Sudan’s interests, avoiding external interference.
