Press Statement 

Yesterday, the Commander of the Ugandan People’s Defence Forces, son of President Museveni, posted reckless and irresponsible remarks on the platform X, threatening to capture Khartoum as soon as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office. This unprecedented and deviant utterance displays an incredible level of disrespect for international law, the ethos of interstate relations, and the principles of mutual respect between sisterly and friendly nations. It further constitutes a complete departure from the accepted code of conduct expected of holders of high official and military positions, who are required to exhibit reason, discipline, and careful choice of language in their behavior. Threatening war, violating national sovereignty, or defying the United Nations Charter, the African Union’s Constitutive Act, and international law are far too serious to be trivialized or used as a means for seeking attention or sensationalism.

The Government of Sudan, therefore, demands an official apology from the Government of Uganda for these offensive and dangerous remarks. It equally calls on the African Union, regional and international organizations, and the entire international community to condemn these statements, which pose a clear threat to regional and international peace and security and insult the dignity of Africans.
