President Yoweri Museveni has reiterated the importance of dialogue as the most effective path to resolving the ongoing conflict in Sudan. He made the call during a meeting with Mr. Malik Agar, Deputy Chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council, who paid a courtesy visit at State House Entebbe.
Mr. Agar is leading the Sudanese delegation attending the 12th high-level Regional Oversight Mechanism (ROM) summit of the Peace, Security and Cooperation (PSC) Framework for the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Great Lakes Region, hosted this week in Uganda.
During their discussions, President Museveni emphasized that sustainable peace in Sudan will only be achieved through internal consensus based on a clear understanding of the root causes of the conflict. He warned against superficial settlements and stressed that meaningful solutions must emerge from among the Sudanese themselves, not be imposed from outside. “You cannot prescribe treatment without a correct diagnosis,” President Museveni told his guest. “The Sudanese must go to the root of the problem and agree on a new formula. That is what will bring lasting peace.”
The Ugandan Head of State, who recently assumed chairmanship of the ROM peace mechanism, also used the broader summit platform to underline the shared responsibility of regional leaders in addressing conflicts within the Great Lakes region. He called for coordinated regional efforts with minimal external interference, pointing to the need for African-driven solutions to African challenges.
The ROM summit, held at State House Entebbe, brought together leaders and representatives from member states of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework, which aims to promote stability and cooperation in the DRC and its surrounding region. As chair, President Museveni is expected to play a central role in revitalizing diplomatic efforts, particularly in light of increasing instability in parts of the region.
Since the escalation of violence in Sudan in late 2023, President Museveni has met with various stakeholders, including envoys from both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. His engagements have focused on promoting ceasefires and creating avenues for meaningful dialogue between the warring parties.
President Museveni’s leadership in regional peacebuilding continues to be recognised by heads of state and multilateral partners, who have praised Uganda’s role as a stabilizing force in a region often marked by prolonged conflicts.
