Sudanese Ambassador to Tanzania, Dr Mohamed Abdalla Abdelhameed, has accused the international community for dilly-dallying in taking legal action against the Rapid Support Militia (RSF) despite their decisive attacks on diplomatic missions, the UN and aid organisations.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with this correspondent in his office in Dar es Salaam earlier this week, Dr Abdelhameed said the ongoing war in Sudan was a war waged by the RSF, a group that rebelled against the state with local, regional, political and logistical support.

“It began with an attempt to seize power by force of arms and the rebellion quickly evolved into a full-scale war against the Sudanese state and people,” he emphasised.

He went on to say that the RSF were engaged in a proxy war, acting on behalf of foreign powers pursuing their own interests against the government and people of Sudan.

Explained that the RSF deserved to be designated as a terrorist organisation for its grave crimes, supported by regional financiers and foreign mercenaries that helped them to destroy the Sudanese soil.

“Here we express regret that Tanzania was among the earliest victims, when the RSF looted a Tanzanian Embassy vehicle near the International University of Africa on the first day of the war,” he lamented.

He underscored that the militia continued defying international law, the Jeddah Declaration, and UN Security Council resolution, including the arms embargo on Darfur and a resolution on Al-Fashir.

“Since mid-2024, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) imposed a suffocating siege on the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State, blocking the entry of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid to hundreds of thousands of trapped civilians,” 

“As battles intensified and roads were cut off, living conditions deteriorated sharply—pushing the population to the brink of famine—while international organizations were unable to reach the city safely,” he said.

After eighteen months of continuous siege, RSF militia stormed El Fasher in late October 2025, opening a new and tragic chapter in the humanitarian disaster that has long plagued the Darfur region.

This development was not merely a military victory in a local battle, but a catastrophic turning point in the balance of the Sudanese conflict—one that unleashed scenes of horror and atrocities reminiscent of the darkest episodes of modern humanitarian crises, perpetrated by the RSF militia. He lamented 

As RSF militia entered El Fasher, reports quickly emerged of mass executions and widespread looting targeting civilians along ethnic and tribal lines—some of which were recorded by the militia’s own cameras.

Ambassador Dr Abdelhameed went on to say  eyewitnesses described horrific scenes: bodies lying in the streets, hospitals reduced to rubble, and entire neighborhoods burned to the ground.

Humanitarian agencies that had been operating in the city confirmed that more than 2,000 civilians were killed within the first 48 hours of the RSF’s takeover.

He explained further that thousands more fled on foot toward remote areas seeking safety, while the United Nations and the international community have so far been unable to verify the full extent of the catastrophe due to continuing insecurity and systematic violence by RSF fighters.

Credible human-rights reports indicate that the events in El Fasher were not random acts of revenge, but a planned, ethnically-motivated campaign aimed at specific communities based on their identity and tribal affiliation.

“Weeks before the city’s fall, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk warned of “the imminent risk of mass atrocities” in El Fasher—warnings that went largely unheeded by the international community,” he mentioned.

He noted that according to multiple international media and intelligence reports—including Le Monde (November 2025) and The Washington Post (September 2025)—the United Arab Emirates provided logistical and military support to the RSF through supply lines running across neighbouring countries. These investigations also revealed that Emirati territory was used as a hub for the purchase and export of Sudanese gold, believed to be financing RSF operations.

Private companies based in the UAE allegedly facilitated the transport of military equipment via cargo aircraft to areas near Darfur and Chad. These claims are supported by satellite imagery, field testimonies, and documentation from UN expert panels.

What happened in El Fasher cannot be dismissed as an isolated episode in Sudan’s civil war; it constitutes a crime against humanity under international law.

Observers and rights advocates are calling for the establishment of an independent international investigation under UN supervision to identify and prosecute those responsible—regardless of rank or affiliation.

The continuing silence of the international community in the face of recurring massacres in Sudan is no longer acceptable. Failing to act is tantamount to complicity with the perpetrators.)

Dr Abdelhameed assured that the government of Sudan remained open to any initiative aimed at ending the war, “provided that no state or organisation supports and participates in the war through supplying weapons, facilitating their transfer, offering political and any other form of support to the rebels.”

He noted that the SAF is one of the oldest state institutions in Sudan, operates professionally, free of partisan allegiance, and is committed to democratic transition. He added that it was ready to hand over power to any consensus-based elected civilian government.

Among other things, the Ambassador said the government struggled to find solutions as seen in the Jeddah Declaration in May 2023, which facilitated border openings and airports to alleviate the sufferings of citizens and facilitated the delivery of humanitarian aid, reaffirming the government’s commitment to international law to protect civilians.

“Under the leadership of LTG Abdel Fattah Al- Burhan, the SAF have sought from the very beginning to avert the outbreak of war, from the early weeks of the conflict, they have worked to bring it to an end through Jeddah Platform and continue to maintain their position in favour of ending hostilities,” he said.

Despite the ongoing war, Tanzania and Sudan also have good cooperation and coordination in security and counter-terrorism and they promise opportunities for cooperation, taking advantage of Tanzania’s potential for teaching Kiswahili language.

The Republic of Sudan seeks to benefit more from Tanzania’s mining sector (especially gold), tourism, the development of natural reserves and electric railways after the reopening of bilateral ties.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with this newspaper in Dar es Salaam recently, the Ambassador of Sudan to Tanzania, Dr Mohamed Abdalla Abdelhameed, said the two countries would complete the signing of a memorandum of cooperation as soon as possible.

“There is a need for high level visits between the two countries. The time has also come to complete the steps of establishing a political consultation committee,” he said.

He noted that historical relations that bound together Sudan and Tanzania could be traced to the leadership of the Founding Father of the Nation, President Julius Nyerere, and the most telling evidence was that the Sudanese Embassy in Dar es Salaam was one of the very first embassies to be opened in Dar es Salaam in March 1962, just three months after Tanganyika got its independence.

“Sudanese people proudly recall the historic visit of President Julius Nyerere to Sudan in November 1974 during which a grand reception held for him in Abu Deleig, East of Khartoum, remains one of the largest gatherings in Sudan’s history.”

Dr Abdelhameed reaffirmed Sudan’s commitment and readiness to fully cooperate in elevating bilateral relations to the highest level across political, economic and cultural domains as Tanzania pursued a reformist policy of opening up to the regional and international community with great emphasis on economic diplomacy.

“While upholding the principles of African unity espoused by Mwalimu Nyerere, Tanzania demonstrates readiness to share its successful experiences with African states. This approach resonates with Sudan’s own vision towards Africa, anchored in a comprehensive perspective on cooperation at bilateral, regional, continental and international levels,” he emphasised.

He noted that there were plans and programnes to develop and promote investment and increase trade exchange between the two nations without forgetting the unprecedented development that Tanzania had made in its two major projects. He said Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project and the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) made Tanzania increase the capacity of hydropower generation and boast of high-speed electric railways in Africa.

Dr Abdelhameed noted, among other things, that it was a clear sign that the two nations had opened a new chapter of cooperation after the recent re-opening of Tanzania’s Embassy in Khartoum after a period of closure that lasted more than 30 years.

Among other things, the Ambassador said the areas of cooperation between two countries were promising after the cessation of the work of the Joint Economic Committee that had negatively affected trade exchange between the two countries.

“Tanzania, especially, lost one of its largest markets of tea and coffee trade after the withdrawal from COMESA in 2000, as about 80 per cent of Sudanese tea imports came from Tanzania until the end of the 1990s.”

He said as soon as he arrived in Tanzania, he held several meetings with the Tea Board of Tanzania (TBT) to discuss ways to facilitate the export of Tanzanian tea to Sudan,” he explained.

He emphasised that Tanzania and Sudan also had good cooperation and coordination in relation to counter-terrorism and there were promising opportunities for cooperation, taking into account of Tanzania’s potential in teaching Kiswahili language.

Barrick, in partnership with the government of Tanzania , through its Bulyanhulu mine has continued improving primary education infrastructure environment by adding more classrooms at  Kharumwa English-medium school located in Nyang’hwale District in Geita region. This 

The project, which started on April 30, 2025, is expected to be completed on September 11, 2025.

This year, Nyang’hwale District Council has received Sh100,996,200 to implement the construction of four classrooms, and purchase furniture to address the challenge of classroom shortages.

Speaking at a ceremony to receive Uhuru Torch, which coincided with the laying of the foundation stone of the school, the Leader of Uhuru Torch Race, Mr Ismail Ali Ussi, commended Barrick Bulyanhulu for continuing supporting the government to improve people’s lives through the implementation of development projects in various sectors of the economy, including education.

“I take this opportunity to commend all experts of the Council and Barrick Bulyanhulu Mine for working day and night to ensure Tanzanians benefit from various projects which are implemented in this district,” Mr Ussi said.

Thus, he appealed to all Nyang’hwale residents to send their children to school. “There is no longer an excuse for long distances to school because schools are built everywhere and this is due to the collaboration of the Government and stakeholders like Barrick. Indeed, Barrick, you are supportive of Hon President Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan,” said Mr Ussi.

He explained further that the partnership shown by Barrick through its mines in the country is a clear indication of productive investment for the nation, and he urged other investors to emulate Barrick spirit by contributing to community development projects.
