Sudan suspends contacts with IGAD mediating group: Foreign Ministry
Sudan has suspended its involvement in mediation efforts with an East African regional bloc that has sought to broker talks between the country’s warring parties.
The Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group have been fighting for nine months in a brutal war that has displaced more than 7 million people and left nearly half of Sudan’s 49 million people requiring aid.
On Tuesday, Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the decision came after the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) added Sudan to the agenda of a meeting scheduled for January 18 in Kampala, Uganda, and invited the RSF’s leader, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo – known as Hemedti – to attend.
The ministry, which is loyal to army chief and Sudan’s de facto leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, accused IGAD of “violating Sudan’s sovereignty” and setting a “dangerous precedent”.
