Sudanese Ambassador in Brussels Calls for Including the RSF on Terrorist List

Brussels – Sudanhorizon
The head of the Sudanese diplomatic mission in Brussels, Khalid Musa, met on Friday, with Laetitia Bader, Deputy Director of the Africa Division at Human Rights Watch, and her aides. They discussed the evolving situation in Sudan, as well as concerns regarding human rights conditions and violations occurring in the country.
During the meeting, the Ambassador listened to the organization’s concerns regarding allegations of arbitrary arrests based on ethnicity. He provided a comprehensive overview of Sudan’s judicial and legal system, highlighting directives and legal decisions that strictly prohibit the mistreatment of or retaliation against individuals. He emphasized that no one should be detained or targeted based merely on suspicion, and underscored the prohibition of taking the law into one’s own hands.
Furthermore, the ambassador stressed the necessity of adhering to proper legal procedures, ensuring justice through fair trials, and holding any transgressions in this regard accountable under the rule of law.
Ambassador Mousa expressed his appreciation for the organization’s stance, which calls for measures to end impunity and ensure accountability for those who have committed crimes against humanity, war crimes, and horrific human rights violations—acts perpetrated by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher and West Darfur.
He emphasized the importance of the international community, and the European Union in particular, taking effective action to halt the flow of military support to the RSF from certain external actors.
He urged against yielding to any economic bargaining in this regard, while also calling for an end to the use of neighboring countries as launch-pads for drone attacks against civilians, and for preventing the facilitation of military and logistical support to those committing acts of genocide against civilians in Sudan.
At the same time, Ambassador Mousa welcomed the recommendations from the public hearing held by the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights concerning sexual and gender-based violence in Sudan and the Horn of Africa.
He specifically welcomed the call for holding accountable those members of the RSF who have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity against civilians in Darfur and other parts of Sudan.
Furthermore, he welcomed the condemnation by certain Members of the European Parliament regarding the use of territory along the borders with neighboring countries to launch drone attacks—attacks that have resulted in the killing of civilians and the destruction of vital infrastructure in Sudan. Mousa commended the conclusions of the hearing, which emphasized the need for additional measures to hold accountable the regional actors fueling the war by providing military and financial support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, as well as by recruiting mercenaries from Latin America and neighboring countries to participate in the killing of civilians and the rape of women.
He noted that the European Parliament had previously adopted Resolution (2026/2799(RSP)) on July 9, 2026, which called for the inclusion of the RSF militia on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations and for the perpetrators of these crimes to be held to account.
In this regard, he urged the relevant European Union institutions to take the necessary legal and procedural steps to implement the European Parliament’s resolution to designate the RSF militia as a terrorist organization, as part of broader efforts to combat impunity and achieve justice.
