Arab League condemns the formation of a parallel government in Sudan

The Arab League condemned the announcement by a coalition linked to the Rapid Support Forces militia of the formation of a parallel government in Nyala and its intention to appoint governors for several regions, in a blatant challenge to the will of the Sudanese people and an attempt to impose a fait accompli through military force.

In a statement today, the Arab League affirmed its absolute rejection of the formation of any parallel governments or administrations outside the constitutional and legal framework of the Sudanese state, warning against the continuation of plans to weaken Sudanese state institutions and replace the law with chaos and the force of arms in an attempt to divide Sudan.

The General Secretariat stressed the need for full respect for international legitimacy resolutions, foremost among them UN Security Council Resolution 2736 of June 13, 2024, which called on the Rapid Support Forces militia to lift the siege of El Fasher, fully implement the Jeddah Agreement signed in 2023 regarding the protection of civilians in Sudan, and allow humanitarian aid access. The Arab League recalled the Security Council statement of March 5, 2025, which rejected the establishment of a parallel ruling authority in Sudan.

The Secretariat called on the Sudanese parties behind the establishment of this illegitimate parallel government to halt any unilateral steps that would further disintegrate the Sudanese state under any pretext.
