Sudan Slams Uganda Meeting With RSF Commander
22 Feb
Summary
- Uganda hosted RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, drawing Sudan's condemnation.
- Sudan's government calls the meeting an 'affront to humanity' and violation of law.
- The civil war between Sudan's army and RSF has caused mass displacement and famine.

Sudan's government has strongly condemned Uganda for hosting RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, calling the meeting an "affront to humanity" and a violation of international law. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni confirmed meeting with Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, emphasizing a desire for a peaceful political solution. Sudan's foreign ministry stated that Uganda's reception of the rebel leader was an "unprecedented move." The devastating civil war in Sudan, now in its third year, pits the regular army against the RSF. This conflict has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and forced over 13 million people from their homes, triggering a severe famine. Both sides have been accused of atrocities, with recent UN evidence suggesting possible genocide during the RSF's siege of el-Fasher. This is not the first time Sudan has criticized regional states for hosting RSF leaders; previously, Sudan suspended imports from Kenya after meetings were held in Nairobi. Despite diplomatic efforts and accusations of atrocities, the conflict persists, with recent reports of the RSF seizing the town of al-Tina in North Darfur.
