Sudan’s Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salem has said his government is protecting Africa from external plots by confronting foreign interference in his country’s brutal civil war, deep into its third year, as he called on the African Union (AU) for support in its efforts to stabilise the country. “The war currently being fought in Sudan is a war against foreign interference. Ending the suspension of Sudan’s membership in the AU, in place for more than four years, would benefit Africa, he added. The statement by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not name the alleged foreign actors. “War is not our goal and we will continue to seek peace,” he said, accusing unnamed foreign actors of spurring the conflict.
