In a press statement issued today, Friday, the Prime Minister shared that he is following with concern the extensive media and institutional disinformation campaign being waged by the notorious intelligence apparatus of the Islamic Movement, for the latter even managed to influence certain international institutions, particularly the United Nations mission in Sudan.

He added that, based on false information provided by the aforementioned notorious apparatus, Ms. Denise Brown hastily issued a statement that contained inaccurate claims regarding the targeting of a World Food Programme humanitarian aid convoy.

Press Statement

We have followed with deep concern the extensive media and institutional misinformation campaign being led by the notorious intelligence apparatus of the Islamic Movement, which has even managed to influence certain international institutions, particularly the United Nations mission in Sudan.

Based on false information provided by this disreputable apparatus, Ms. Denise Brown hastily issued a statement containing inaccurate claims regarding the targeting of a humanitarian aid convoy belonging to the World Food Programme. This was followed by statements from embassies of countries supporting the Muslim Brotherhood army, as well as other remarks misled by Ms. Brown’s statement, including comments from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and a statement by the British government.

We affirm to the public that the claim that the Rapid Support Forces targeted a World Food Programme aid convoy is entirely false. On the contrary, the close field-level coordination between us at the National Humanitarian Access Authority and United Nations agencies contributed, this week alone, to the delivery of more than 18 humanitarian aid trucks arriving from El-Obeid. We supervised their protection until they safely reached the city of Al-Dalang, where relief supplies were distributed to beneficiaries without incident.

In response to these false allegations, we formally contacted Mr. Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, and provided him with all documentation substantiating the misinformation and politicization of humanitarian aid. He was also informed that the Muslim Brotherhood army and allied forces have deliberately launched attacks on humanitarian aid convoys, the most recent being the targeting of World Food Programmewarehouses on Wednesday in the city of Kadugli.

For our part, we submitted clear recommendations to the UN Under-Secretary-General, emphasizing the need to review the United Nations mission’s policy in Sudan regarding the legitimization of the Port Sudan group as a de facto government, to reassess the mission’s media strategy, and to evaluate the leadership’s capacity and eligibility in accordance with the United Nations principles of neutrality, impartiality, and transparency during this highly complex period.

We reaffirm our firm commitment to humanitarian principles and to intensifying efforts to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance to all those in need across all regions of Sudan, without discrimination.
