Idris Defines Sovereignty Boundaries Before AU, Confirms Military Momentum

Sudanese Prime Minister Kamil Idris addressed the core of the national crisis while receiving a high-level delegation from the African Union Peace and Security Council, focusing his political speech on two pivotal axes: restoring internal security and ensuring the non-violation of national sovereignty. He highlighted the government's decade ambition to build strong state institutions capable of protecting borders and resources from any attempts at fragmentation or unlawful external influence.

Political and Military Foundations

Idris established a resolute stance that his government will never accept any formula equating the national army with irregular forces, stressing that the Rapid Support Forces have transformed from an military entity into mercenary groups executing counter-nation agendas. He also categorically rejected any form of external intervention in the Sudanese people's decisions, considering that the political future must be shaped by the citizens themselves without guardianship or pressure from regional or international parties.

On the military front, he assured the African delegation of tangible gains on the ground, especially in the Greater Kordofan regions, signaling an upcoming liberation of Darfur, while simultaneously warning that the security vacuum in Sudan could be a dangerous model for the rest of the continent if international blocs do not deal with terrorist threats firmly.

The Path to Stability

The Sudanese leadership revealed its readiness to launch comprehensive internal negotiations bringing together all parties, aiming to reach a permanent political solution with broad acceptance, emphasizing that these talks would be peaceful and distant from direct foreign control. The Prime Minister considers engaging Sudanese in dialogue as the only guarantee for sustainable peace, as any externally imposed solution would pose a threat to long-term stability.

Idris indicated that the upcoming phase will be crowned by full respect for the voters' will through free and fair elections reflecting the citizens' true choices, affirming that restoring full citizenship requires dismantling violence structures and rebuilding trust between the state and civil society.

In conclusion, the Prime Minister called upon the international community to take clear and firm stances against sabotage groups, explaining that negligence in addressing the root causes of the current conflict may expose other African countries to similar risks, necessitating stronger coordination to confront cross-border threats.
