The United States expressed worry about Sudan's Rapid Support Forces and their allies signing a supposed transitional constitution for the country. The Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs stated that trying to establish a parallel government hurts peace and security efforts in Sudan. They warned these plans might cause more instability and split the country into parts. The Bureau manages American policy regarding Africa and its nations.
Reports indicate the RSF and allied groups put their names on this transitional constitution on March 4, 2025, moving closer to creating a separate governing body. Jordan quickly spoke against any actions that could threaten Sudan's unity, including efforts to form competing leadership structures. Their Foreign Ministry spokesman, Sufian Qudah, stressed Jordan stands firmly behind peaceful solutions that protect Sudan's security, stability, and people. Egypt and Saudi Arabia previously voiced similar objections to anyone forming an alternative Sudanese government.
The RSF joined various Sudanese political groups and armed movements to sign a political charter in Nairobi on February 22, 2025. This agreement aimed at establishing what Sudan's current government called a conspiracy. Sudan pulled back its ambassador to Kenya, Kamal Jabara, in direct protest against these meetings. Kenya defended hosting these discussions as part of its commitment to finding ways to end the violent conflict tearing through Sudan.
Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi explained that the RSF and civilian groups presenting their roadmap in Nairobi fit with Kenya's role as a peace negotiator. Mudavadi, who also serves as Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs, emphasized that Kenya must provide neutral meeting grounds where conflicting parties can talk through their issues. He maintained that Kenya works alongside the United Nations and African Union to broker peace between the warring factions.
