The Designated Minister of Foreign Affairs informed the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Djibouti, Chairman of the IGAD Ministerial Council, in the capacity of the Republic of Djibouti as Chairman of the current IGAD session, via a written letter, of the decision of the Government of the Republic of Sudan to stop engaging and freeze dealing with IGAD regarding the current crisis file in Sudan, in view of the violations that the Organization committed it by inserting the situation in Sudan into the agenda of the forty-second Extraordinary Summit of IGAD Heads of State and Government scheduled to be held in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, on Thursday, January 18, 2024, without consulting Sudan, and inviting the militia leader to attend to the location of the Emergency Summit in Kampala, in a dangerous precedent in history of IGAD and regional and international organizations, which Sudan considered a violation of its sovereignty, as well as a serious violation of the IGAD Charters and the rules governing the work of international and regional organizations.
