Sudan's Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salem has stated that his government is protecting Africa from foreign interference in its ongoing civil war. The conflict, which began in 2023, pits the Sudanese Armed Forces against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Salem described the war as a battle against external intervention, citing significant funding and advanced weaponry from abroad. He accused the United Arab Emirates of arming and funding the RSF, leading to allegations of "complicity in genocide" filed with the International Court of Justice last year. The African Union has suspended Sudan's membership since 2021, but Salem called for its support in stabilizing the country. The AU's Peace and Security Council is also deeply concerned about the situation, which Salem views as a threat to the entire continent.
