BBC News: Sudan’s government has denounced Uganda for hosting the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), calling the meeting an “affront to humanity”.
Sudan’s foreign ministry, aligned with the nation’s armed forces, said Uganda had flouted international law by welcoming RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, whose fighters are accused of committing widespread atrocities throughout the continuing civil war.
On Friday, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said he met with Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, at his presidential home in the city of Entebbe.
Museveni, appointed by the African Union to mediate between Sudan’s military and the RSF, said he emphasised “a peaceful political solution”.
Sudan remains locked in an almost three‑year power struggle between the regular army and the RSF.
The civil war has killed hundreds of thousands of people, forced more than 13 million people from their homes and sparked widespread famine.
Earlier this week, the United Nations said evidence of horrors committed during the RSF’s siege of the city of el-Fasher point to genocide.
Last year, Sudan suspended all imports from Kenya after the RSF held meetings in Kenya’s capital city, Nairobi. Kenya insisted it had hosted the meetings in a bid to find a way to end the war, “without any ulterior motives”.
