Minister of Culture, Information, Antiquities, and Tourism Khalid Al-Eisir said that ignoring or overlooking violations committed by the rebel militia strips any discussion of justice of its substance, reducing it to rhetoric without impact.
In a statement on Wednesday, he emphasized that the urgent priority is to address the current security and legal realities with clarity and responsibility, and to criminalize the Rapid Support Forces for what he described as serious violations of international humanitarian law, including killings and looting.
He added that the impact of these violations has extended to state resources, as well as the property of individuals, companies, banks, and even diplomatic missions.
Al-Eisir called for an end to what he described as a “recycled, tiresome, and failed narrative outside the rule of law,” urging opponents to return to Sudan and engage directly with the public if they are capable of action.
“That is the voice of the people,” he said. “Only there can sincerity be tested through action, and real dismantling take place—not in the realm of rhetoric.”
He also raised lingering public questions about the fate of previously confiscated funds, and whether there is any priority more urgent than dismantling what he described as a “terrorist rebel militia” with which some political actors are allegedly aligned.
