The Vice-President of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), Malik Agar, met with a delegation of ambassadors, envoys, and heads of African missions accredited to Kigali during his official visit to Rwanda. The meeting formed part of his broader African diplomatic tour aimed at rallying support for Sudan’s stability and sovereignty.
During the discussions, His Excellency provided an overview of Sudan’s ongoing political and humanitarian challenges, detailing the efforts undertaken to restore security and peace. He condemned the widespread destruction inflicted by rebel forces on infrastructure and essential services, attributing much of the instability to external interference.
Agar was particularly critical of the role played by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accusing it of supporting the militias that continue to destabilise Sudan. He reiterated Sudan’s firm stance against foreign interference, emphasising the government’s commitment to resolving African issues within the African framework.
“We have consistently sought to alleviate the suffering of our people through negotiations in Jeddah, but the militia has refused to engage in meaningful peace talks,” he stated. He further disclosed that the Sudanese government had developed a clear roadmap to end the war, highlighting ongoing atrocities committed by the militia, including violence against civilians, forced displacement, and flagrant violations of the rules of engagement.
The Vice-President asserted that the war was nearing its conclusion, citing the recent territorial gains made by the Sudanese Armed Forces as a testament to the unity and resilience of the Sudanese people. He also criticised Kenyan President William Ruto for his alleged political support of the militia, warning that such external interference threatens regional security and must be confronted collectively.
“We have moved beyond the phase of shock and are now actively restoring the functionality of state institutions, public services, and healthcare facilities,” Agar affirmed, noting that Sudanese communities are working towards restoring a sense of normalcy in the country.
Expressing gratitude to African nations that have stood by Sudan during its crisis, Agar urged continued diplomatic and material support to help Sudan reclaim its seat in the African Union. He underscored the necessity of preserving African unity, calling for concerted efforts to uphold the sovereignty and security of African nations.
“The safety of one African nation is intertwined with the stability of the entire continent. It is imperative that we work together to prevent external forces from undermining our collective progress,” he concluded.
