During the 42nd Extraordinary Assembly of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad) held in Entebbe on January 18, Sudan's conflicting parties were urged to convene and negotiate a resolution within the next two weeks. Additionally, Ethiopia was instructed to withdraw from its sea deal with Somaliland.


At the summit, hosted by Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni and chaired by Ismail Omar Guelleh, President of Djibouti, attended by various leaders such as President William Ruto of Kenya, Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia, and Salva Kiir of South Sudan, the leaders emphasized the need for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Sudan. They demanded that the warring factions hold face-to-face talks within the specified 14-day period.

The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) under Mohammed Hamdan Daglo began on April 15, 2023, resulting in over 10,000 casualties and the displacement of hundreds of thousands. The leaders urged the Igad Secretariat, in collaboration with the African Union Commission, to revise the conflict resolution roadmap within a month.

The High-Level Panel for Sudan, appointed by AUC chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, including Mohamed Ibn Chambas, Dr. Specioza Wandira-Kazibwe, and Francisco Madeira, was commended. The panel will collaborate with Sudanese civilian forces, military belligerents, and regional and global actors to facilitate an inclusive process for restoring peace, constitutional order, and stability.

Despite previous ceasefire agreements in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and an Igad meeting on December 9, hostilities persist. Michael Hammer, US special envoy for the Horn, urged the involved parties to honor their commitments and cease fighting.

Following the summit, the Sudanese government suspended ties with Igad, accusing it of violating Sudan's sovereignty by inviting paramilitary leaders. Muhammed Amin, a Sudanese official, expressed distrust in some Igad member countries' impartiality.

Regarding Somalia, the summit called for an end to tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia over a January 1 agreement granting Ethiopia access to Somaliland's port for 50 years in exchange for recognizing Somaliland as independent. This agreement led to the closure of Somalia's airspace to Ethiopia, causing concerns about regional instability and potential recruitment grounds for Al Shabaab terrorists.
