Sudan Welcomes U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Recognition of Darfur Genocide

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation welcomed a report issued by the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee condemning attacks on civilians in Sudan and recognizing the genocide committed by the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia against civilians in Darfur. In a statement issued Thursday, the ministry praised the committee for reaffirming Sudan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and for stressing the importance of preventing external parties from supplying the militia with weapons, funding, and political cover as a key condition for ending the war.
The ministry also reiterated its readiness to work with the U.S. Congress, the U.S. administration, and international partners not involved in supporting the rebel militia to end the war, hold perpetrators of atrocities accountable, and designate the Rapid Support Forces militia as a terrorist organization as a first step toward neutralizing entities that arm and politically support it.
The ministry stressed that achieving peace, stability, and the building of a democratic and stable Sudan remains the central objective of the “Government of Hope,” based on principles that safeguard Sudan’s unity and territorial integrity.
