Deputy Chairman of the Sovereignty Council Malik Agar met on Thursday with the UK Special Envoy to Sudan, Richard Crowder, whose visit aims to consult on the political and humanitarian situation in the country.
Agar began by honoring the victims of El Fasher, killed by the RSF, noting the shock felt by the public over the horrific violations committed by the rebel militia.
He welcomed Crowder’s visit, explaining that he briefed him on the humanitarian situation and the destruction inflicted on service and development facilities by the “terrorist militia.”
Agar said he conveyed to the envoy the Sudanese people’s anger at the global silence in the face of ongoing abuses against civilians.
He emphasized that all crimes committed by the militia are carried out under shifting pretexts — claiming to fight for democracy, or claiming to fight Islamists, or invoking the narrative of “the state of ’56” — describing these justifications as falsehoods aimed at enabling a new occupation of Sudan. Such contradictory slogans, he said, reflect the militia’s lack of any coherent future vision.
Agar said the envoy’s visit should have included the UK’s own proposal to end the war, rather than merely gathering the Sudanese government’s perspective, especially since RSF atrocities “are being broadcast on every screen in the world.”
He expressed thanks for the visit but said he asked Crowder to convey Sudan’s messages to Western diplomats, reaffirming the government’s commitment to a peace that preserves Sudan’s unity and sovereignty.
“We cannot enter any agreement — nor any forum — that would restore the militia to the scene,” he stressed.
