Sudan has condemned Uganda for hosting Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), calling it a violation of international law and an "affront to humanity." The Sudanese government, aligned with the nation's armed forces, criticized Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's meeting with Dagalo, who is accused of widespread atrocities during Sudan's ongoing civil war. Museveni, appointed by the African Union to mediate between Sudan's military and the RSF, stated he emphasized a peaceful resolution during the meeting. Sudan's foreign ministry insists Uganda has flouted international law by hosting Dagalo. The conflict in Sudan, a power struggle between the army and the RSF, has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, mass displacement, and famine.
