Sudan has strongly condemned Uganda for hosting Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo ("Hemedti"), the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), on Friday, February 21, 2026. Sudan's Foreign Ministry called the meeting between Dagalo and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni an "insult" to humanity and the Sudanese people, accusing Uganda of disregarding the RSF's alleged war crimes and the laws governing relations between states. Sudan has been embroiled in a civil war between the Sudanese army and the RSF since 2023, resulting in millions displaced and an estimated 150,000 deaths. The US recently imposed sanctions on RSF commanders for their roles in the siege of el-Fasher. The Ugandan Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated the meeting focused on ending the war.
