Sudan’s Foreign Ministry has demanded an official apology from the government of Uganda for what it describes as”offensive and dangerous” remarks by Uganda People’s Defense Forces’ commander-in-chief the who threatened to seize Khartoum as soon as US President Donald Trump takes office.

On Tuesday, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted on x (formerly Twitter) that he intends to capture  Khartoum as soon as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Reacting to the statement on Wednesday, Sudan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said; “This unprecedented and deviant utterance displays an incredible level of disrespect for international law, the ethos of inter-state relations, and the principles of mutual respect between sisterly and friendly nations.”

It went on to state that threatening war, violating national sovereignty, or defying the United Nations Charter, the African Unions Constitutive Act, and the international law should not be trivialized or used as a means for seeking attention or sensationalism.

On this basis, Sudan’s foreign ministry said it’s government demands from Uganda’s government for the utterance, it describes as offensive and  dangerous.

The de facto Khartoum regime also called on the African Union, regional and international organizations as well as the international community to condemn these statements, adding that these pose a clear threat to the region and international peace and security.
