Geneva – Sudanhorizon
Minister of Justice Dr. Abdullah Mohammed Darf addressed on this morning ,Wednesday), the High-Level Segment of the General Debate during the 61st session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva. He reviewed the developments in the country amidst the ongoing rebellion by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and the grave violations and horrific crimes they are committing against civilian and civilian infrastructure.

The Minister emphasized that the armed rebellion, which is nearing its third year, has targeted state institutions, infrastructure, and vital facilities. He stated that it has perpetrated systematic violations, including murder, rape, looting, and intimidation, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and human rights law.
He explained that the Sudanese government was compelled to exercise its constitutional authority to confront this rebellion in order to preserve the security of its citizens and the unity of the country, while strictly adhering to international humanitarian law and holding accountable all those proven to be involved in these crimes.
The minister indicated that Sudan is facing a proxy war as a result of military and logistical support provided by some countries to the militias, particularly their sponsor, the Abu Dhabi authorities. This support, he said, has contributed to prolonging the conflict and deepening the humanitarian crisis, the Sudan News Agency quoted the minister as stressing.
At the same time, the minister reiterated Sudan’s commitment to protecting human rights through the establishment of national mechanisms for investigation, strengthening accountability, and enabling the justice system to perform its role without exception.
He also reviewed the roadmap presented by the government in March 2025, which includes the formation of a civilian government headed by Dr. Kamil Idris, and the launch of a comprehensive peace initiative based on a ceasefire under international and regional supervision, ensuring the return of internally displaced persons and refugees, disarming the militias, and ultimately leading to a Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue culminating in free and fair elections.
The Minister of Justice concluded his statement by emphasizing Sudan’s openness to constructive cooperation with the Human Rights Council and all international mechanisms, away from politicization and selectivity, noting that the Sudanese government recently received the High Commissioner for Human Rights and a number of UN experts and mechanisms and facilitated their tasks in order to protect and promote the human rights situation in the country.
