Jordan’s Foreign Ministry has firmly rejected any moves that could jeopardize Sudan’s unity, including recent efforts to establish a “parallel government” amid the ongoing crisis.
In a statement released Sunday, ministry spokesman Sufian Qudah reaffirmed Jordan’s strong support for initiatives that promote a peaceful resolution to Sudan’s turmoil while safeguarding the country’s security, stability, and sovereignty.
Jordan’s stance comes as regional dynamics grow increasingly complex following a political charter signed on February 22 in Nairobi, Kenya. The charter, endorsed by the Sudanese paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) along with various political factions and armed movements, aimed to form a parallel government opposing the current Sudanese authorities. The move has been met with sharp criticism from Sudan, which protested Kenya’s involvement by recalling its ambassador to Nairobi, Kamal Jabara, on February 20.
Both Egypt and Saudi Arabia have also expressed their opposition to any attempts to create an alternative Sudanese government, echoing Jordan’s call for preserving national unity. “We must avoid any actions that undermine the integrity of Sudan,” Qudah stated, emphasizing that stability in Sudan is crucial for regional peace.
Kenya, however, defended its role in hosting the talks, describing its efforts as part of a broader initiative to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in Sudan. Coordinated with the United Nations and the African Union, Kenya’s involvement is intended to facilitate dialogue and help end the ongoing strife.
As regional and international stakeholders work to steer Sudan toward a durable peace, Jordan’s rejection of the parallel government proposal underscores the collective concern over any measures that might fragment the nation further. With diplomacy remaining the preferred path, Jordan and its partners continue to advocate for an inclusive political solution that respects Sudan’s sovereignty and ensures long-term stability for its people.
