Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has urged for a ceasefire in Sudan and cautioned the army against personalizing the country.
In a meeting with Sudan’s Special Envoy, Dafallah Al-Haj Ali, Museveni expressed his concerns about the ongoing conflict in Sudan, where two rival generals are vying for control.
Emphasizing the importance of peace, Museveni took to Twitter, stating, “A ceasefire is critical to allow peace, for people to elect their leaders as owners of the country. The country does not belong to the Sudan Army, it belongs to the people.”

Sudan has been embroiled in a fresh wave of violence since April 14, with clashes occurring between the national army led by Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commanded by his former deputy and fellow coup leader, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo ‘Hemedti’.
Museveni’s warning comes as an appeal to the warring factions to prioritize the well-being of the Sudanese people and work towards a peaceful resolution. The prolonged conflict has taken a toll on the nation, causing immense suffering and hindering the democratic process.
Efforts towards achieving a ceasefire and initiating a dialogue between the conflicting parties are vital for Sudan’s stability and the aspirations of its citizens. International observers and regional leaders continue to closely monitor the situation, hoping for a swift resolution to the crisis and a path towards lasting peace in Sudan.
