Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni will not recognise any parallel government formed by sanctioned Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its allies in Nairobi, Sudanese Sovereign Council Deputy Chairman Malik Agar has confirmed.
Speaking on Wednesday following his diplomatic visit to Uganda, Agar revealed that President Museveni had expressed concerns over the Nairobi-based RSF activities and reaffirmed Uganda's support for Sudan's legitimate transitional authorities.

"President Museveni raised the issue of the document signed in Nairobi and expressed his understanding of our concerns regarding the situation, as well as the cooperation extended to the militia by the Kenyan government," Agar posted on his X account.
According to Agar, Museveni made it unequivocally clear that Uganda will not support or recognise any parallel government formations led by the RSF.
"President Museveni reaffirmed that the Ugandan government does not and will not recognise any parallel government formations," Agar stated.
The Sudanese military government in Port Sudan has been actively seeking regional and global support to pressure RSF and its backers while condemning Kenya's role in hosting the militia.
"We emphasised that if regional and African leadership is genuinely committed to fostering stability and progress across the continent, such counterproductive actions must be curtailed," Agar stressed, referencing his ongoing diplomatic engagements.

Agar has previously criticised President William Ruto, accusing him of interfering in Sudan's internal affairs by allowing the RSF to operate and mobilise politically from Nairobi.
RSF and allied Sudanese rebel groups have taken a bold step by signing a transitional constitution in Nairobi, asserting control over eight territories and laying out plans for a new joint army comprising the RSF and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM).
This development, which comes amid international condemnation, signals a dangerous escalation in Sudan's power struggle, further fragmenting the country and distancing the RSF from global legitimacy.
By formalising their military ambitions on foreign soil, the RSF and its allies are not just challenging Sudan's military government — they are openly testing the patience of the international community.
As tensions continue to mount, all eyes remain on how regional and international actors will respond to the RSF's move and whether Sudan's transitional government will succeed in rallying diplomatic support against the Nairobi-based RSF activities.
