Iran Backs Sudanese Government and Military in Fight Against Rebel Forces

In a significant diplomatic move, Iran has reaffirmed its support for Sudan’s government and military in their ongoing struggle against rebel factions. This statement was made by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during a joint press briefing with Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Youssef Ahmed Al-Sharif in Tehran.

During the briefing, Araghchi emphasized, “We support Sudan’s government and army in their fight against rebels, and declare our sympathy with the defenseless people who have been harmed as a result of fighting.” He also condemned the attacks on Sudan’s critical infrastructure, showcasing Iran’s commitment to regional stability.

Key points from the joint press conference include:

  • Support for Sudan: Iran stands firmly with the Sudanese government and military against rebel forces.
  • Condemnation of Violence: Iran condemned the assaults on vital infrastructure in Sudan.
  • Call for Resolution: Araghchi stressed the need to end foreign interference, facilitate national dialogue, and reach a consensus to resolve Sudan’s issues.
  • Upcoming Economic Commission: A joint economic commission between Iran and Sudan is scheduled to convene in the forthcoming months.

In response, Al-Sharif highlighted the Sudanese army’s success in reclaiming territories previously captured by rebels, which he claimed were receiving foreign assistance. He shared insights about the atrocities inflicted by the rebel forces and expressed Sudan’s eagerness to collaborate with Iran in rebuilding the war-torn nation.

Al-Sharif also articulated Sudan’s unwavering support for Palestine, stating, “Sudan stands with Palestine and opposes any forced displacement of the Palestinian people.” This sentiment underscores the solidarity between the two nations on regional issues.

Furthermore, Al-Sharif engaged in discussions with Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Akbar Ahmadian, where they addressed crucial bilateral, regional, and international matters.

As a result of their discussions, Araghchi and Al-Sharif signed several memorandums of understanding (MoUs) aimed at enhancing cooperation:

  1. Visa Waivers: An MoU was signed to facilitate visa waivers for holders of political and service passports.
  2. Joint Political Committee: Another MoU established the formation of a joint political committee to foster bilateral relations and regional collaboration.

The signing of these agreements in the evening marked a significant step towards strengthening ties between Iran and Sudan, addressing key regional and international issues.
