Sudan Condemns Uganda’s Meeting with RSF Commander
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni met with Dagalo at the presidential palace in Entebbe.
“This reception is an unprecedented step that contradicts Uganda's commitments to good neighborliness, at a time when innocent lives are being lost,” the Sudanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added, “Atrocities committed by the terrorist militia (RSF) have been documented by the international community and condemned by regional organizations to which Uganda belongs, such as the African Union.”
Condemning Dagalo’s reception as “a step that disregards the most basic human values and ignores the scale of the crimes committed against Sudanese citizens,” the ministry said the move also violates international and regional norms governing relations between member states and constitutes support for rebel forces against a legitimate government.
While acknowledging Uganda’s right to “receive whomever it wishes” and maintain bilateral relations, the ministry asserted the visit “reflects a new policy of the Ugandan government towards Sudan, supporting the rebels and acting against the unity, security, and safety of the Sudanese people.”
“This step is direct support for the genocidal crimes committed by the rebels against civilians, which have been documented by independent international organizations,” it stressed.
“The Sudanese government will not allow its territory or the territory of neighboring countries to be used to support rebel forces against the state,” the ministry concluded.
Dagalo’s visit to Uganda was his first since September, when he toured Nyala, the capital of South Darfur. Sudan has been embroiled in violent conflict between the army and the RSF since April 2023, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths, the displacement of around 13 million people, and one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, according to UN reports.
