Qatar and Saudi Arabia have released forceful declarations backing Sudan's territorial integrity and sovereignty, cautioning against foreign meddling and efforts to establish alternative governmental structures. These official positions emerge amid heightened diplomatic friction regarding allegations that Kenya hosted gatherings involving the Rapid Support Forces militia and various Sudanese opposition factions. The Qatari Foreign Affairs Ministry emphasized complete endorsement of Sudan's independence and unity, explicitly rejecting any external actors attempting to influence Sudanese internal matters.
The ministry urged all Sudanese parties to prioritize national interests above factional concerns, highlighting serious risks of territorial fragmentation. Qatar additionally stressed inclusive dialogue represents the optimal pathway toward establishing enduring peace and ensuring developmental progress throughout Sudan. Saudi authorities adopted an even more definitive stance on these matters, specifically condemning illegitimate actions undertaken outside recognized Sudanese governmental institutions that might undermine national cohesion or contradict popular sentiment.
Saudi leadership expressly denounced recent attempts to form parallel governmental structures, reaffirming steadfast commitment toward preserving Sudanese stability. The kingdom encouraged all Sudanese political entities to elevate patriotic interests above partisan considerations, emphasizing prevention of societal division remains paramount. Saudi officials referenced continued dedication toward ending hostilities pursuant to agreements outlined within the Jeddah Declaration signed May 11, 2023, which established a framework for conflict resolution.
These diplomatic pronouncements coincide with escalating tensions between Sudanese authorities and Kenyan leadership regarding Nairobi's alleged facilitation of meetings aligned with RSF interests. Sudanese governmental representatives have accused Kenya of supporting efforts to establish competing administrative structures, prompting immediate diplomatic responses, including the recall of Sudan's ambassador from Kenya. The ongoing brutal conflict between RSF militia forces and Sudan's military, persisting since April 2023, has generated widespread accusations of humanitarian violations and war crimes.
Transitional Sovereignty Council Vice-Chairman Malik Agar recently delivered pointed remarks directed at Kenyan President William Ruto, cautioning against interference using a Swahili adage suggesting negative consequences await those disregarding elder counsel. The explicit opposition from influential regional powers like Qatar and Saudi Arabia against external involvement increases pressure upon international stakeholders to advocate negotiated peace processes respecting Sudanese sovereignty. These statements reflect growing regional consensus regarding the necessity of resolving Sudanese internal conflicts through legitimate domestic institutions rather than externally organized political initiatives.
