Sudan Condemns Kenya’s Hosting of RSF Political Talks, Calls It Violation of Sovereignty

Writer / Editor
On Tuesday, the RSF organized an event in Nairobi, where discussions focused on establishing a parallel government in areas controlled by the RSF. The signing of the agreement, which would pave the way for a parallel government, was postponed to February 21 at the request of the leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North.
The Sudanese government has strongly
condemned Kenya for hosting the signing of a political agreement involving the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), labeling the move a violation of Sudan’s sovereignty and a breach of international law.
In a statement, Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused
Kenya of disregarding its obligations under the UN Charter, the African Union’s Constitutive Act, and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Ministry argued that facilitating an agreement with the RSF—described as a "terrorist Janjaweed militia"—undermines Sudan’s territorial integrity.
“This move promotes the dismembering of African states, violates their sovereignty, and interferes in their internal affairs,” the statement read.
It further stated that the RSF continues to commit war crimes, including genocide, ethnic massacres, and sexual violence.
Sudan also accused Kenya of breaking its own commitments to avoid actions hostile to Sudan, calling Nairobi’s involvement an “act of hostility against the entire Sudanese people.” The Foreign Ministry reaffirmed the
Sudanese Armed Forces' commitment to reclaim all national territory and dismissed the RSF agreement as a meaningless “propaganda stunt.”
The statement concluded by urging the international community to condemn Kenya’s actions, warning that Sudan would take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty.
The day after Sudan's statement, on Wednesday, Kenya's foreign ministry reportedly expressed its willingness to assist in peace initiatives in Sudan. The ministry highlighted Kenya's role as host to numerous Sudanese refugees and emphasized its tradition of promoting dialogue sincerely and with no hidden agendas.
Meanwhile, the United Nations voiced serious concern regarding the potential creation of the parallel government, warning that such an action could intensify the conflict and further divide the country.
