The Sudanese Foreign Ministry has issued a strong condemnation of Uganda's recent reception of Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, known as 'Hamidti', the leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). They described this act as 'direct support for genocide', implying a disregard for Uganda's obligations to foster good neighborly relations and adhere to the principles governing relations among member states of regional and international organizations. This unprecedented move is said to undermine the minimal humanitarian values expected in such diplomatic engagements, especially given the gravity of the ongoing violence in Sudan.

In an official statement released on Sunday, the Sudanese government highlighted that the welcoming of a figure they label as a 'rebel militia leader' by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is a significant departure from mutual respect in international diplomacy. The Sudanese authorities argued that such an invitation blatantly disregards the suffering of Sudanese citizens and the scale of atrocities committed against them, questioning Uganda's commitment to regional peace and stability and suggesting a troubling shift in alliances.

On the ground, the Sudanese Finance Minister and leader of the Justice and Equality Movement, Gabreel Ibrahim, praised the combatants in the strategic battles in the town of Tine in North Darfur, indicating that the conflict continues to evolve amidst international scrutiny. The juxtaposition of military success within Sudan against diplomatic failures in securing regional support highlights the complexities faced by the Sudanese state as it grapples with internal strife while navigating its relationships with neighboring countries, particularly concerning issues of sovereignty and international law.
