Khartoum freezes dealing with IGAD in the Sudanese crisis file. Sudanese Foreign Ministry attributed its decision to what it said were abuses committed by the organization. IGAD invited Rapid Support Forces commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as "Hemedti", to attend its summit. Hemedti was part of Sudan's authority, where he was vice president of the Sovereignty Council, headed by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. The two sides have been embroiled in a sharp disagreement over a plan for a political transition away from military rule.
