Sudan’s new transitional prime minister, Kamil El-Tayeb Idris, has pledged to steer his country toward “rebirth in unity” following years of devastating civil war. Speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, Idris emphasized Sudan’s resilience despite suffering immense destruction at the hands of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Appointed earlier this year by the Transitional Sovereignty Council under President Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, Idris is Sudan’s first civilian prime minister since Abdalla Hamdok resigned in 2022. In his speech, he described Sudan as a nation with a proud and ancient civilization now struggling under the “existential dangers” of war. He painted a picture of a country scarred by violence, where villages stand silent, children grow up in fear, and communities carry the weight of genocide, foreign mercenaries, and aggression.
Idris strongly condemned the RSF for committing crimes including killings, torture, rape, looting, and the deliberate destruction of vital infrastructure. He also voiced opposition to international sanctions on Sudanese entities, arguing they hinder recovery while the nation fights to reclaim peace and unity.
