Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and 23 other political and armed groups signed a charter late on Saturday in Kenya's capital Nairobi to establish a parallel government in areas under their control, reports said.Key signatories reportedly include RSF head Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo's brother, commander Abdelrahim Dagalo, rebel leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu, and representatives from various political and ethnic factions.The rebels also reportedly announced a plan to create a "new, unified, professional, national army," while dissolving existing forces, including the current Sudanese army, which they labeled as "militias tied to the former regime."Sudanese authorities have yet to respond to the statements. Earlier this week, the nation recalled its ambassador from Nairobi over Kenya's "disgraceful position" undermining Sudanese sovereignty.The signing ceremony took place at a closed-door event in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, after more public discussions focused on establishing a parallel government earlier in the week, which drew criticism from the Sudanese Foreign Ministry against the East African country's President William Ruto for "encouraging the conspiracy to establish a government for the genocidal militia and its followers."

The formation of a parallel Sudanese government, which will reportedly be officially declared within days, will represent "a secular, democratic, decentralized state based on freedom, equality, and justice, without bias toward any cultural, ethnic, religious, or regional identity," the signatories announce in the charter, as seen by media.
Sudan's paramilitary
Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and 23 other political and armed groups signed a charter late on Saturday in Kenya's capital Nairobi to establish a parallel government in areas under their control, reports said.
Key signatories reportedly include RSF head Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo's brother, commander Abdelrahim Dagalo, rebel leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu, and representatives from various political and ethnic factions.
The rebels also reportedly announced a plan to create a "new, unified, professional, national army," while dissolving existing forces, including the current Sudanese army, which they labeled as "militias tied to the former regime."
Sudanese authorities have yet to respond to the statements. Earlier this week, the nation recalled its ambassador from Nairobi over Kenya's "disgraceful position" undermining Sudanese sovereignty.
The signing ceremony took place at a closed-door event in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, after more public discussions focused on establishing a parallel government earlier in the week, which
drew criticism from the Sudanese Foreign Ministry against the East African country's President William Ruto for "encouraging the conspiracy to establish a government for the genocidal militia and its followers."
"The current meetings were nothing but the culmination of the support that the Kenyan presidency has continued to provide to the terrorist militia in various fields. In light of this, Nairobi has become one of the key centers for the militia's political, propaganda, financial and logistical activities. The Kenyan president had previously received the terrorist militia commander as a president," the Sudanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
