Opinion Poll: “Internal Parties” Work to Undermine Sudan’s Foreign Relations

Exclusive – Sudanhorizon

The results of an opinion poll conducted among a group of Sudanese have revealed a widespread rejection of any foreign interference in the country’s domestic affairs.

According to the poll, an overwhelming majority of 92.9% of participants agreed that internal parties are deliberately seeking to undermine Sudan’s foreign relations and nullify its alliances.

The Arab Experts Center for Journalism and Public Opinion Studies conducted a large-scale poll to measure Sudanese public opinion on foreign positions and international alliances. 69,468 people participated in the poll, the results of which were obtained by Al-Sudanhorizon .

Participants included Sudanese communities in Egypt, South Sudan, Libya, Kenya, Uganda, the Gulf states, East Asia, the European Union, and North America.

Participants expressed a degree of optimism about Sudan’s ability to build effective alliances. 47% expressed high confidence in that ability, compared to 30.8% who had medium confidence, and 22.2% who expressed a lack of confidence.

This distribution reflects a balance between realistic pessimism and hope for Sudan’s restoration of diplomatic effectiveness.
The results showed that 55.1% of participants believed that Sudan was experiencing partial or relative isolation, while 16.2% confirmed that it was completely isolated, and 28.8% believed that it was not internationally isolated.
These results indicate a widespread awareness of a decline in Sudan’s diplomatic presence, but one that does not amount to a complete rupture with the international community.

The results indicated that 46.7% of participants acknowledged that the government had committed clear diplomatic errors that hindered the strengthening of its international alliances, while 40.5% said that these errors had occurred to some extent, and only 12.8% denied their existence.

This result highlights a general perception that weak foreign policy performance was one of the main reasons for Sudan’s isolation and declining status.

An overwhelming majority of participants (92.9%) expressed conviction that internal parties are deliberately working to undermine Sudan’s foreign relations and nullify its alliances, compared to 4.1% who denied this, and 3% who declined to express an opinion.

This indicator confirms that external challenges are compounded by internal divisions, making the diplomatic front more fragile.

Participants in the open-ended questions recommended consolidating the principle of national sovereignty and rejecting any agreements that undermine Sudan’s independent decision-making.

This should be achieved by focusing on the strategic alliance with Russia, China, and Turkey, while maintaining balance and openness to other regional and international powers.

According results, the recommendations have called for accelerating the signing of defense and investment agreements that guarantee reconstruction and support for the national economy, unifying foreign policy, and activating the role of national experts in formulating a foreign policy based on the national interest, not personal or partisan affilia
