During the meeting, Dr. Abdel-Ghaffar provided an update on Sudan’s current situation following the RSF militia’s rebellion against the state and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). She highlighted SAF’s significant advances and victories, as well as the establishment of a civilian government led by Prime Minister Dr. Kamil Idris. The minister underscored that Sudan has met all the conditions necessary for the restoration of its AU membership.

Minister Ondo Okobo expressed his government’s and people’s solidarity with Sudan, noting that the President of Equatorial Guinea is closely monitoring the developments in the country and hopes Sudan’s reintegration into the African Union will occur at the earliest opportunity.
