On Friday, Sudan’s Vice-President Hassabo Mohamed Abdel-Rahman met
with Museveni in Kamala on the sidelines of United Nations-backed
Solidarity Summit on Refugees.
In press statements following the meeting, Sudan’s State Foreign
Minister Atta al-Mannan Bakhit said the meeting discussed bilateral
relations between the two countries as well as Sudan’s peace process,
national dialogue and the situation in Darfur region.
According to the official news agency SUNA, Bakhit added the meeting
touched on the joint committees between the two countries that the two
sides agreed to establish to cover the economic, social, cultural,
diplomatic and military fields.
He pointed out that Museveni underscored support for all efforts made
by the Sudanese government to achieve security and stability,
stressing his country won’t serve as launching pad for any hostile
acts against Sudan.
Following ten years of strained relations, Museveni visited Khartoum
in September 2015 where he and al-Bashir agreed to end tensions
between the two countries over the issue of rebel groups.
The Year 2016, witnessed a steady rapprochement between the two
countries, accelerated, by the South Sudanese crisis and their joint
efforts to end the four-year crisis in the neighbouring nation.
The visit of President Museveni to Khartoum in October 2016 to take
part in the closing conference of the government-led national dialogue
is seen as a turning point in the relationship between the two
countries.
In September 2016, the Ugandan government facilitated informal talks
between the Sudanese government and armed groups in Darfur and Sudan’s
Blue Nile and South Kordofan areas, in a bid to support the African
Union High Implementation Panel (AUHIP) efforts to bring peace in the
east African country.
