I discussed with His Excellency the exceptional conditions that Sudan is witnessing due to the war and the resulting negative effects that have doubled the suffering of our people,” he said.
“I provided His Excellency with a detailed explanation of the circumstances of the outbreak of the April 15 war, which was ignited by the leaders of the former regime with the help of their members in the armed forces, with the aim of controlling power and blocking the path to the democratic transformation sought by the Sudanese people.”

“We look with admiration at this great country, which has become an inspiration for many people who aspire to rise from the ashes of wars and conflicts towards peace, development, progress and prosperity,” he said adding: “We look forward to Rwanda’s efforts, by virtue of its distinguished experience and the wisdom of its leadership, to help our people overcome this crisis and restore security and stability.”
