Ethiopian Prime Minister receives Hemedti in Addis Ababa

Today, Thursday, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed received the Commander of the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti”, in Addis Ababa.

Ahmed said in a post on the x platform: “Earlier today, I received Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo and his accompanying delegation to discuss securing peace and stability in Sudan.”

Hemedti arrived earlier today in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. He was received at Bole International Airport by Ethiopian Foreign Minister Demeke Mekonnen.

This visit comes within the framework of efforts to bring peace to Sudan , after the war that claimed the lives of thousands of Sudanese and displaced millions.

The head of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, was scheduled to meet with Hemedti today in Djibouti, but the meeting was postponed, according to what the Sudan News Agency “SUNA” announced.

According to the agency, “The Government of Sudan expressed its regret over the procrastination of the leadership of the rebel militia in seeking a voice of reason, and its unwillingness to stop the destruction of Sudan and its people, and this is evident from their failure to respond to attending the meeting.”

For its part, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it had received a memorandum from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Djibouti, stating that the commander of the Rapid Support Forces was unable to reach Djibouti to hold the meeting due to technical reasons, stressing that coordination will be made again to hold the meeting during the next month.
