condemned Uganda for hosting the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, as an \u201cinsult\u201d to humanity and the Sudanese people.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement on Sunday, Sudan\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the reception of Dagalo, also known as \u201cHemedti\u201d, in the \u201cstrongest terms\u201d and his meeting on Friday with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span

innocent people killed due to the behaviour of Hemedti and his terrorist militia,\u201d the Foreign Ministry wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Rights groups and international organisations have accused the RSF of war crimes and targeting civilians in Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>Khartoum said hosting Dagalo \u201cdisregards\u201d human values.<\/p>\n<p>It \u201ccompletely disregards the laws governing relations between member states of regional and international organisations that prohibit providing any support for rebel forces against a legitimate, internationally recognised government\u201d, the Foreign Ministry added.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Sudan was plunged into a civil war between the Sudanese army, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), at least 11.7 million people have been displaced by the conflict and an estimated 150,000 people have been killed.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the United States imposed sanctions on three RSF commanders over their alleged roles in the 18-month siege and capture of el\u2011Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State in western Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the US Department of the Treasury accused the RSF of perpetrating \u201ca horrific campaign of ethnic killings, torture, starvation, and sexual violence\u201d during the siege and capture of el-Fasher, which fell to the RSF in October.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, a UN mission found that the RSF campaign in el-Fasher was a \u201cplanned and organised operation that bears the defining characteristics of genocide\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"oisonous-identity-politics\">\u2018Poisonous\u2019 identity politics<\/h2>\n<p>Uganda\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued its own statement on Dagalo\u2019s visit and said his meeting with Museveni focused on \u201cending the ongoing conflict in Sudan and restoring regional stability\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Museveni reiterated in his remarks to Hemedti that peace in Sudan could only be achieved through dialogue and warned against what he described as identity politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I last came to Sudan, I met [former] President [Omar al-] Bashir and advised against the politics of identity instead of the politics of interest,\u201d Museveni said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIdentity politics is poisonous. It does not yield good results. What is important are shared interests that unite people,\u201d he said while calling for both parties to prioritise \u201cpeace over military confrontation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Dagalo thanked Museveni and said he shares the Ugandan president\u2019s \u201cprinciples and your commitment to peace\u201d, according to a statement released by the Ugandan government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe noted that Sudan continues to face serious humanitarian and institutional challenges as a result of the conflict and stressed the need for a peaceful resolution,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uganda Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Mohamed Dagalo\u2019s meeting with President Yoweri Museveni focused on ending war.
