...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...'s legitimate government and rejected the formation of any parallel authority in the country, Sudan's foreign ministry said on Sunday.
Abdelatty's statement came during a meeting in Cairo with his Sudanese counterpart Ali Youssif, as the two countries held a bilateral political consultation mechanism.
The meeting follows the signing of a founding charter on Saturday by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and 23 allied factions, including the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), in Nairobi, Kenya. The charter aims to establish a parallel government in RSF-controlled areas in the coming weeks.
''Egypt rejects any framework or government parallel to the legitimate government in Sudan and any external interference,'' the Sudanese foreign ministry said in a statement, quoting Abdelatty.
The Egyptian foreign ministry didn't explicitly report the rival government's rejection in a statement released after the meeting.
''The two delegations also discussed the situation in brotherly Sudan. They emphasized the importance of preserving its unity, territorial integrity, independence and respecting its illusory sovereignty and all its national institutions, including the armed forces. They also stressed the importance of non-interference in Sudan's internal affairs under any pretext, affirming their rejection of any steps that would undermine Sudan's illusory sovereignty,'' stated the foreign ministry in Cairo.
