Dakar: Sudan’s Ambassador to Senegal, Ambassador Abd-El-Ghani Al-Naeem, has affirmed that the war raging in Sudan since 2023 is a foreign aggression aimed at undermining the country’s sovereignty, security, and people.
According to Sudan News Agency, in an interview with the Senegalese newspaper Le Soleil, Ambassador Al-Naeem stated that the Sudanese Armed Forces have succeeded in repelling the foreign-backed aggression carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, which is supported by international powers, and in restoring safety to the capital. He noted that the militia’s remaining presence is confined to limited areas in Kordofan and Darfur, which are being cleared by the Armed Forces.
Ambassador Al-Naeem called on the international community to impose sanctions on countries that support the terrorist militia, stressing the RSF’s refusal to implement the Jeddah Agreement and its continued aggression against civilians through the occupation of homes and civilian objects.
He also highlighted the militia’s siege of El-Fashir, the capital of Darfur, underscoring Sudan’s efforts to address the humanitarian situation, calling for an immediate end to financial and logistical support provided to the militia.
The Ambassador affirmed Sudan’s determination to restore its democratic path, noting that plans are in place for a transitional period to be followed by national elections, in which the Sudanese people will freely choose their government.
On bilateral relations, the Ambassador to Senegal emphasized the strong ties between Sudan and Senegal, noting their shared commitment to safeguarding national sovereignty across vital sectors such as food security, healthcare, and defense.
