African Union Commission under fire for endorsing inconclusive Sudan dialogue call
Sudan's leading pro-civilian rule alliance condemned an African Union Commission statement welcoming a call by the Sudanese Armed Forces, one of the two sides in the civil war and accused of committing atrocities, to hold an inconclusive dialogue.

The African Union Commission has faced criticism for its endorsement of a Sudanese Armed Forces-led dialogue proposal, which the alliance sees as undermining the country's unity and peace efforts. The Civil Democratic Alliance of the Forces of the Revolution, a leading pro-civilian rule alliance, strongly condemned the statement from the African Union Commission, stating that it contradicts the institution's core principles.
The alliance argues that the dialogue proposal lacks credibility and is taking place in only one part of the country, threatening Sudan's political unity. General Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, head of the Sudanese Armed Forces, announced his intention to hold dialogue with Sudanese parties while vowing to continue fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The alliance believes the dialogue is a unilateral process aimed at manufacturing political legitimacy rather than ending the war or addressing the humanitarian crisis, which has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. Former Sudanese prime minister Abdalla Hamdok also dismissed the dialogue as a process designed to bolster the military regime's power, rather than fostering genuine peace and reconciliation.
He emphasized that a credible political process must prioritize ending the conflict, be inclusive, civilian-led, and nationally scoped, as Sudan's future lies with its people, not its military leaders.
