Cape Town – (SUNA) The Deputy Chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Commander Malik Agar Eir, met today with President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa and conveyed greetings from the Chairman of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan.
According to the Sudan News Agency (SUNA), Agar briefed the South African President on the developments in Sudan and the extent of destruction caused by the rebel Rapid Support Forces militia in the service sector through targeting infrastructure and service facilities of all kinds.
The Deputy Chairman of the Sovereignty Council said that the meeting addressed the Sudanese government’s position on ending the war and presented an explanation of the roadmap leading to that, pointing to the difficulty of communicating with the militia due to the multiplicity of decision-making centers in it, as well as the presence of foreign mercenaries in its ranks.
His Excellency added that Sudan looks forward to eliminating the rebellion by the end of next April in most of Sudan’s states, expressing the government’s fears of the militia adopting its repeated racist approach against African components in the Darfur region.
Agar referred to the incident of burying Masalit people alive, which indicates the grave violations and military mobilization in Darfur carried out by the rebel militia based on racial grounds, which reinforces those fears.
The Deputy Chairman of the Sovereignty Council briefed President Cyril Ramaphosa on the Sudanese government’s reform plan and its strategy to promote interests between societal components immediately after the end of the war, in conjunction with the reconstruction process.
Agar described the Kenyan government’s support for the militia in forming a parallel government as a clear violation of international laws and African Union charters, considering it a hostile move against Sudan and an explicit targeting of its unity and territorial sovereignty.
Agar expressed Sudan’s satisfaction with the clear positions of most regional neighboring countries rejecting the step of forming a parallel government and called for African countries to resist such negative moves aimed at fragmenting them for the benefit of countries outside the continent.
The meeting discussed issues related to the institutions of both countries as well as the situations of Sudanese residents in South Africa.
President Ramaphosa affirmed his country’s serious pursuit to end the war in Sudan and that he will work to support Sudan’s restoration of its historical role in the continent
