Sudan’s leader said Sunday that “colonial powers” are fueling conflicts in Africa.
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, made the remarks during his meeting with Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Sissoco Embalo at the presidential palace in the capital Bissau, according to a statement from the council.
The council said Al-Burhan and Embalo held a bilateral summit to discuss relations between their countries and ways to enhance cooperation in all fields.
The statement said Al-Burhan explained the situation in Sudan in light of the rebellion led by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia against the state and its institutions.
“Colonial powers are working to fuel conflicts on the African continent,” he said.
He noted that “Africa is now experiencing an awakening, enabling it to resist foreign interference in African affairs. We commend the efforts of some African nations that have risen against both old and modern colonialism.”
According to the statement, Embalo expressed hope for peace in Sudan as soon as possible.
Al-Burhan arrived Sunday in Guinea-Bissau, the second stop on an African tour that began in Mali on Saturday, including Sierra Leone and Senegal.
