UN Security Council Rejects Rapid Support Forces’ Rival Government, Warns Threat to Sudan’s Unity, Calls for Dialogue

The United Nations Security Council has officially rejected the Rapid Support Forces' (RSF) recent declaration of a rival government in Sudan. The council characterized the establishment of this parallel authority as a direct threat to Sudan's territorial integrity, unity, and peace, warning that it could exacerbate the ongoing conflict. The Security Council reaffirmed its commitment to Sudan's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, and renewed its call for dialogue among Sudanese parties to achieve a permanent ceasefire and create conditions for a political solution. This move is viewed as a political victory for the Sudanese government. Meanwhile, the Sudanese Democratic Alliance has attributed the civil war to Islamist factions.
