The Sudanese Foreign Affairs Ministry has called for the intervention of the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN) after Rapid Support Forces (RSF) signed a charter in Nairobi.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, the ministry stated that the move by the Kenyan government to welcome the signing of the political charter by the RSF not only poses a serious threat to regional peace and security but also violates international system sovereignty.
The ministry added that the country will continue to take drastic security measures.
“This requires the African Union, the United Nations, and all international and regional organizations to play their role in the face of this serious threat to regional peace and security, tampering with the foundations of the contemporary international system, and encouraging the fragmentation of African countries and the violation of their sovereignty.
“The Government of Sudan will continue to take steps to respond to this irresponsible and hostile behaviour,” the statement from the Sudanese Foreign Ministry reads in part.
Mudavadi called out
In the statement, the Sudanese government also called out Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary and CS for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi for welcoming the signing, noting that the deal the RSF group signed was not a peace deal but was to form a parallel government.
“The Kenyan Prime Minister and Foreign Minister issued a statement on his official website on the X platform, welcoming the signing of the so-called political charter between the terrorist Janjaweed militia and its followers to form a parallel government. This agreement calls for tearing Sudan apart by recognizing the right to self-determination for what it called the Sudanese peoples and regions.
“Contrary to the Kenyan leadership’s claim that the meetings of the terrorist militia and its supporters, under its sponsorship, aimed to discuss achieving peace, the participants in the signing session chanted slogans calling on the militia to invade specific Sudanese cities and regions, to continue ethnic cleansing and genocide, as it did in Geneina, Ardamata, the villages of Al-Jazeera, Sennar, Zamzam camp, and the villages of North Darfur and Al-Qatina,” the statement reads in part.

Mudavadi on sign charter
On Monday, February 24, 2025, Mudavadi defended the recent move by the government to allow the formation of a Unity Government by Sudanese political parties, civil society, and military groups in Nairobi, terming it a step in the road to restoring peace in Sudan.
“The government would like to affirm that the Nairobi peace talks are just part of the Kenyan DNA of problem-solving in the region and in the continent since its independence.
“From the leadership of the Founding father of the Nation the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, to the second President the late Mzee Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi, the late Mzee Mwai Kibaki, President Uhuru Kenyatta, and now HE President William Ruto, Kenya which has been an oasis of peace, has never shied away from offering a helping hand to its warring neighbours in the region, the continent of Africa and across the globe,” Mudavadi stated.
