Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni held high-level talks with Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the commander of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, at the State House in Entebbe. The discussions were focused on addressing the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which has intensified over the past three years, leading to one of the most severe humanitarian crises globally. Museveni's approach emphasizes the importance of dialogue over military action in achieving sustainable peace in the region.

During the meeting, Museveni reiterated the significance of African-led initiatives in resolving conflicts across the continent. He has been appointed by the African Union to lead a committee aimed at facilitating direct negotiations between Dagalo and Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, which highlights Uganda's strategic role in the peace process. The ongoing strife in Sudan underscores the urgent need for comprehensive solutions that consider the humanitarian impact on the civilian population caught in the crossfire.

Dagalo acknowledged the deepening crises facing Sudan, both humanitarian and institutional, calling for immediate efforts toward achieving peace. The conversation between the two leaders reflects a broader commitment to regional stability and the potential for Uganda to influence positive outcomes in Sudan through constructive engagement and dialogue. As the situation in Sudan continues to unfold, the outcome of these discussions may have far-reaching implications for the region's security and humanitarian landscape.
