On March 2, 2025, Egypt vehemently opposed attempts to create a parallel government in Sudan, citing concerns for national unity and the humanitarian crisis exacerbating in the country. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized Egypt’s rejection of efforts threatening Sudan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, stating that such actions would complicate the already dire situation in Sudan and impede efforts among political factions to unify their perspectives.
Egypt urged all Sudanese factions to put aside differences and focus on their nation’s interests by engaging in a comprehensive political process free from exclusion and external interference. This statement follows recent developments in Sudan, where the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied groups signed a charter in Nairobi aiming to establish a parallel governance structure.
The ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with approximately twelve million people affected, alongside a sharp increase in hunger and disease. Sudan reacted to the Nairobi meeting by recalling its ambassador, arguing that the establishment of a parallel government would only worsen the conflict after recent successes against the RSF.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared that the newly proposed government serves only as a misleading facade for the RSF to gain access to weapons, thereby prolonging the existing conflicts rather than resolving them. Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi indicated that this initiative seeks to restore stability and democratic governance in Sudan, despite Sudan’s warnings of imminent threats.
The continued strife in Sudan demands urgent attention from all parties involved to prioritize peace and humanitarian efforts, as Egypt calls for constructive cooperation among Sudanese political elements to end the suffering of millions.
In summary, Egypt has voiced strong opposition to the formation of a parallel Sudanese government, pointing out the risks it poses to Sudan’s national integrity and the worsening humanitarian situation. The country encourages Sudanese factions to work towards unity and engage in a political process that safeguards national interests. The Sudanese conflict has devastating implications that continue to endanger the lives of millions, underscoring the need for immediate and collaborative peace efforts.
