Sudan Calls for Stiffer Sanctions Against RSF for Resurgent Attacks on Civilians
By: Michael Mike
Sudanese Government has condemned recent attack on civilians by the militia, calling on the international community to come had on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) which is currently in battle with the Sudanese Army.
The militia was alleged to have attacked the Merowe power station and substations in Al-Shawak, Sinnar, Sennjah, Atbara, and Dongola, with the aim of disrupting electricity and water supplies to the safer states, and deliberately crippling essential services, such as hospitals, bakeries, food production, and public utilities, so as to further deepens the suffering of the Sudanese people.
Reacting to the recent attack in Abuja on Friday, the Charge d’ Affaires of the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan in Nigeria, Mr Ahmed Omer Jaboul, said these practices constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and conventions.
The envoy while calling on United Nations and its agencies, African Union and humanitarian agencies to act against the militias, said: “The government affirms that the militias commission of this type of crime represents a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions on vital facilities.
“The Sudanese government calls on all countries and human rights organisations to classify the militia, its members, and its agents from countries, institutions and individuals as terrorist entities that are pursued and punished internationally.”
He alleged that: “In continuation of its destructive and criminal approach, the rebel Rapid Support Militia today burned the Khartoum Refinery in Jele. This operation is a continuation of a series of systematic criminal practices in destroying vital facilities in Sudan. It has previously destroyed water and electricity stations, dams, hospitals, citizens’ homes, government institutions, museums, schools, universities, and other vital facilities.
“These practices constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit targeting vital facilities.
“This is an attack done by the rebel RSF militia on the Al-Shawak power station in Gedaref State, Eastern Sudan, as well as on the Gedaref water station.
“These attacks were done on Sinnar and Sinja and Dongla States power stattions.”
The Sudanese government had earlier in a statement issued by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office of the Spokesperson and Media Directorate, alleged that after realizing its utter inability to confront the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and supporting forces, in the wake of
humiliating losses it has sustained, the Janjaweed RSF militia, restored to overt acts of terrorism, targeting power
stations, water facilities, hospitals, remote villages, internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, and civilian convoys.
The statement read that: “Over the past few days, the RSF militia has carried out
multiple drone strikes on the Merowe power station and substations in Al-Shawak, Sinnar, Sennjah, Atbara, and Dongola. These attacks aim to disrupt electricity and water supplies to the safer states, deliberately crippling essential services, such as hospitals, bakeries, food production, and public utilities, which further deepens the suffering of the
Sudanese people. These crimes are part of a broader genocidal strategy being pursued within the context of its war of aggression against the Sudanese people, with the
support of its regional sponsors.
“At the same time, the RSF militia continue to perpetrate massacres in villages across Gezira State and has escalated
its assaults on IDP camps in North Darfur, notably the Abu Shok and Zamzam camps. In addition, the RSF has attacked
civilian infrastructure in El Fasher. Despite repeated calls for accountability, the militia remains in defiant violation of UN
Security Council Resolution 2736 (2024), threatening further massacres in the city of El Fasher.
“The Government of Sudan strongly condemns these actions and calls on the international community, particularly the
United Nations, to take immediate and decisive action. The Government urges the international community to
unequivocally condemn these terrorist crimes as clear violations of international humanitarian law, the Jeddah
Declaration, and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
“The Government further urges the international community to take effective measures against the RSF terrorist militia to prevent further criminal actions.”

Afri-Caribbean Investment Summit Charts Path for Stronger Economic Ties, Shared Prosperity

Afri-Caribbean Investment Summit Charts Path for Stronger Economic Ties, Shared Prosperity
By: Michael Mike
The Afro-Caribbean Investment Summit, have marked a significant step in strengthening the ties between the two regions; Africa and the Caribbean, with a focus on sustainability, economic diversification, and collaboration for shared prosperity.
The historical event which took place in Abuja Nigeria, was organised by Aquarian Consult, in partnership with the government of Saint Kitts and Nevis, with theme, ‘bridging continents: Africa and the Caribbean, a partnership for prosperity.’
The event brought together political, business, and academic leaders from both Africa and the Caribbean to discuss the potential for deeper economic partnerships and long-term development.
Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Dr. Terrence Michael Drew while delivering his keynote address highlighted the deep-rooted connection between Africa and the Caribbean.
He described Africa not just as a distant relative to the Caribbean but as the “mother” of the region.
He called for a shift from occasional discussions to a more structured, sustained collaboration in economic, cultural, political, and spiritual areas.
Drew emphasized that both regions must chart a course toward greater cooperation, recognizing their shared stories, challenges, and potential.
He highlighted the importance of addressing climate change, noting that the Caribbean, like many parts of Africa, has already felt the devastating effects of global warming.
Drew presented the geothermal energy project in Nevis as a model for sustainable energy, aiming to reduce the region’s dependency on fossil fuels and promote renewable energy solutions. He proposed that this effort could serve as a model for both African nations and small island developing states across the globe.
“The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of global supply chains, especially in the food sector. In response, St. Kitts and Nevis has been investing in modernizing its agricultural systems with a focus on climate-resilient crops and sustainable farming techniques.
“We call on Africa’s agricultural expertise to partner in these efforts, joint research, farm exchanges, and technology partnerships could revolutionize food production for both regions.
“We need reform in our financial systems to support innovation and economic growth. Young entrepreneurs, women, and small businesses often struggle to access the capital needed to bring their ideas to life. It is importance we create innovative financial instruments, such as diaspora bonds and microfinance programs, which could foster economic independence and growth across the Afro-Caribbean bloc.”
Former President of Mauritius, Dr. Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, also emphasized on the structural challenges facing Africa. She noted that while Africa is home to vast natural resources and a growing youthful population, it accounts for a disproportionately small share of global trade and GDP.
Gurib-Fakim highlighted the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as a critical step toward creating a unified market that could unlock Africa’s manufacturing potential.
However, she warned that Africa’s economic transformation would only be possible if the continent invests in science and technology and addresses its skills gap in order to meet the demands of the modern economy.
Gurib-Fakim also stressed the importance of education reform to drive innovation and entrepreneurship. She criticized the continent’s educational systems, which she argued “limits the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for success in knowledge-based economies.”
For her part, Ms. Aisha Maina, General Managing Director of Aquarian Consult, emphasized the concept of a “Global Africa,” referring to the shared identity and common heritage of people of African descent around the world.
She declared that the time has come for the Global South to invest in itself, reject externally imposed development metrics, and create its own standards for growth.
Maina called for greater collaboration between Africa and the Caribbean, not just in trade but in innovation and entrepreneurship.
She stressed that “both regions must come together, leveraging their collective strengths, to overcome historical divisions and forge a path toward mutual prosperity.”
Also, Prof. Benedict Okechukwu Oramah, President of the Africa Export-Import Bank (Afrexim Bank), reinforced the need for institutionalized cooperation between Africa and the Caribbean.
He highlighted the shared history of colonization and displacement, but also the immense potential for the two regions to collaborate on a global scale.
Oramah emphasized the role of Afreximbank in facilitating trade and investment, urging both regions to harness their natural resources and intellectual capital to build industries that can compete on the global stage.
Oramah concluded by stating that the unity of Africa and the Caribbean could form one of the world’s most powerful political and economic blocs, with the capacity to shape global affairs.
The summit, he said, “was a step toward creating a structured, organized framework for Afro-Caribbean collaboration, with the goal of increasing trade, innovation, and sustainable development.”
