Sudan's paramilitary leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hamidti, has begun a significant African tour that has raised questions about his motivations. This journey, which includes meetings with multiple African leaders, notably President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, coincides with a renewed international focus on the crisis in Sudan. Observers believe that this tour is strategically planned to gain regional support for international efforts aimed at establishing a humanitarian ceasefire, as there are ongoing discussions at the United Nations regarding potential resolutions to address the humanitarian situation in Sudan.

Hamidti's recent appearance marks the first time he has been seen publicly since a video address to his forces in June 2025, indicating that this tour may also serve to re-establish his presence and influence amidst the political turmoil in Sudan. His itinerary has included countries such as Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda, reflecting a broad outreach strategy as he seeks to solidify alliances that may bolster his position in the face of ongoing conflicts within Sudan.

The African Union has designated Museveni to lead a high-level committee aimed at facilitating direct negotiations between conflicting parties in Sudan. This underscores the region's commitment to addressing the escalating crisis. The implications of Hamidti's tour extend beyond mere diplomacy; it also signals the importance of continued international and regional cooperation in seeking a resolution to Sudan’s ongoing challenges, particularly as humanitarian concerns mount and the situation continues to evolve.
