More than 20 heads of state and dozens of heads of government and ministers are participating in the thirtieth anniversary of the genocide, in addition to representatives of countries, leaders of international organizations, senior international officials and former presidents.
Rwanda used to celebrate it every year to remind the world of the atrocities, killing and displacement that were committed.
The official spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Ambassador Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, said, according to (Kandaka News), that Rwandan President Paul Kagame extended an invitation to the President of the Sovereignty Council TSC ,Lt. Gen.Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, to attend this anniversary, and added, “Because the president is aware of the military operations taking place with the Rapid Support RSF militia, he will not be able to attend this anniversary.”
Participation, and the Foreign Minister-designate appointed Ambassador Ali Al-Sadiq to participate in his place.
Al-Siddiq said that Sudan’s participation at this level comes to express solidarity with the victims of genocide and to remind that what is happening in Sudan now is the atrocities and violations of human rights, international humanitarian law and all relevant international laws by the rebel Rapid Support RSF militia that committed the crime of genocide similar to what happened in Rwanda. In 1994.
He said that the visit will build on previous understandings with the Rwandan leadership, which denounced the violations of the rebellion after Sudan protested against the militia leader’s visit to Rwanda, as he failed to present a convincing point of view to justify his violations against the Sudanese people.
Rwanda committed to supporting Sudan’s cause in Africa to achieve peace and apply justice to the leaders of the rebellion, especially after the crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity were committed, as happened in El Geneina against the Masalit tribe and in all other villages and cities of Sudan.
