General Mohamed Dagalo denounces Sudan's alleged withdrawal from IGAD
Sudan’s General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the Rapid Support Forces Commander, has publicly denounced the announcement made by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) regarding Sudan's withdrawal from IGAD.
Sudan’s General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the Rapid Support Forces Commander, has publicly denounced the announcement made by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) regarding Sudan's withdrawal from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). General Dagalo contends that those responsible for this decision lack the mandate to represent the Sudanese people, and their unilateral withdrawal from IGAD does not reflect the legitimate position of the nation.
Sudan's historical connection with IGAD member states has been crucial to its regional standing, and the country has actively participated in the organization's programs and activities. The abrupt decision to withdraw from IGAD has raised concerns about Sudan's commitment to regional cohesion and integration, especially considering the potential consequences for diplomatic relations and regional stability.

General Dagalo emphasized that Sudan remains a bona fide member of IGAD, and the decision to withdraw should be viewed with skepticism and contempt. He reiterated his commitment to IGAD's founding objectives and assured that Sudan would continue actively engaging with the regional organization.
