Egypt has rejected plans for a parallel Sudanese government, highlighting the potential negative impact on national unity and worsening humanitarian conditions. The conflict continues with significant control shifts between the Sudanese Armed Forces and RSF, amid calls for a unified political process. Recent developments and diplomatic tensions with Kenya complicate the situation further.
On March 2, 2025, Egypt condemned attempts to establish a parallel government in Sudan, warning that such actions threaten national unity and exacerbate humanitarian crises. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the need to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sudan, characterizing these efforts as detrimental to ongoing reconciliation among Sudanese political factions.
Egypt urged all Sudanese groups to prioritize the national interests of their nation and engage constructively in a political process free from external interference. This call for cooperation comes amidst ongoing conflict in Sudan, where the military and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been at war since April 2023.
Recent developments indicate that RSF and their allies signed a charter in Nairobi to establish a “government of peace and unity.” This prompted Sudan to recall its ambassador from Kenya, denouncing the talks as a provocation. The Sudanese Armed Forces are reportedly gaining control in central regions, despite the ongoing humanitarian disaster that has resulted in significant displacement and casualties.
While Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi views the proposed government as a step towards restoring stability, Sudan’s government claims this initiative could intensify the conflict. They argue that establishing a parallel government would allow militias to procure weapons under a false pretense.
Egypt’s firm stance against the formation of a parallel government in Sudan highlights the importance of national unity and humanitarian stability amid ongoing conflict. The push for a joint political initiative, free from outside interference, is essential for effective resolution and rebuild trust among Sudanese factions.
