IFAD Funding Expected for Small-Scale Producers

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) announced a new $47 million grant to Sudan if it pays its arrears to the Fund. Meanwhile, Dr. Gibril Ibrahim, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, revealed that procedures have begun to address the arrears, helping Sudan obtain new funding for small-scale producers in the agricultural sector, both agricultural and livestock production, in the states.

During his meeting with Dr. Rasha Omar, Director of the IFAD Country Office in Sudan, along with the Undersecretary for Planning and the Director General of External Financing, at the Ministries Complex today, the Minister stated that the government is focusing on building resilience and rural development projects with the aim of increasing the productivity of small farmers and livestock producers, enhancing the capacities of productive women, and organizing them into associations to facilitate their access to direct funding from international financing institutions and organizations. This will contribute to lifting them out of the cycle of poverty and supporting the government's efforts in this field. He praised IFAD's ongoing efforts in Sudan from the 1970s until now.

Professor Mohamed Bashar, Undersecretary of Planning at the Ministry, emphasized the importance of continuing IFAD projects to benefit war-affected rural communities, including pastoralists, farmers, and small-scale crop producers, including youth and women at risk, across nine states: Gezira, Khartoum, River Nile, Kassala, Gedaref, Sennar, and Kordofan.

For her part, Dr. Rasha Omar explained that her visit to the country, from September 6-20, aims to strengthen cooperation with the Sudanese government to increase resilience and development in the agricultural sector, follow up on the payment of Sudan's arrears, resume implementation of the Natural Resources Sustainability and Livelihoods Program, review its performance improvement plan, ensure its full operation for the benefit of all of Sudan, allocate resources to small producers, and enhance women's capacities in agricultural production and processing.

She commended the Sudanese government's efforts to maintain the continuity of the IFAD program in Sudan over the past two years despite the challenges facing the country, pointing to the promising results of the government's support for agricultural development, particularly the increase in agricultural productivity of various crops, in addition to the development of rural communities and farmers' organizations, their management of water resources, and the supervision of the conversion of irrigation pumps from diesel to solar energy, which saves 30% of irrigation costs. Dr. Rasha welcomed the government's efforts to pay off IFAD's debt, which will allow for the restoration of financing for new projects and the attraction of additional resources for the agricultural sector, as it is a key sector for combating poverty and achieving food security in Sudan.

UN rejects the "parallel Rapid Support Government"

The Security Council and the Secretary-General refuse to recognize the Rapid Support Forces and close the door to any illegal representation

In a decisive step that ends the controversy, the Sudanese Mission to the United Nations confirmed that any diplomatic representation in international forums pertains to Sudan only through the legitimate government led by Lieutenant General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan and Prime Minister Dr. Kamil Idris.

Minister Plenipotentiary Ammar Mahmoud, Sudan's representative to the United Nations, stressed that the international organization, the Security Council, and the Secretary-General have unequivocally declared their refusal to recognize the so-called "parallel Rapid Support Government."

Forces loyal to the RSF militia sought to market it as a political alternative, but were met with categorical rejection from the international community.

This UN position is consistent with previous statements issued by the African Union, in which the Peace and Security Council affirmed that the only legitimate government recognized is the one in Port Sudan, denying any legitimacy to parallel initiatives.

It reflects the international consensus of the United Nations, the African Union, and many major powers such as the United States, Britain, Russia, and Arab countries.

The official Khartoum government has not lost its legitimacy despite the Rapid Support Forces militia's attempts to create a parallel political reality.

Observers believe that this unified international position represents a devastating blow to the "parallel government" project and confirms that the doors of the United Nations are closed to any attempt to circumvent legitimacy, thus strengthening the position of the Burhan and Idris government in the regional and international arena.

Minnawi reveals dangerous scheme aimed at separating Darfur

Darfur Governor, Minni Arko Minnawi, said that what is happening in the city of El Fasher represents a humanitarian disaster that excels The description, stressing that the situation there has become more complex than the conditions in the Gaza Strip, especially with the absence of hospitals completely. Minnawi noted that the rebel Rapid Support Forces obstructed humanitarian relief efforts, and seized more than 20 United Nations convoys and humanitarian organizations that had set off from the city of Al-Dabba towards Al-Fasher, and forced it to stop in the Malit area. Rather, it burned more than 10 relief convoys, which he described as a crime against humanity. He added that these practices reflect a dangerous scheme aimed at separating Darfur and tearing Sudan apart in favor of international forces benefiting from the continuation of the conflict, calling on the international community and the Security Council to take urgent action to open humanitarian corridors and protect civilians in Darfur.
