Idris said the dismissal of any minister falls exclusively under the Prime Minister’s authority, rejecting external interference. He confirmed that all ministers and officials are in the process of submitting financial disclosure statements, highlighting efforts to ensure transparency. Idris added that he does not take a salary, serving voluntarily as prime minister.

Security and RSF Challenge

Addressing the conflict, Idris described the RSF’s targeting of vital facilities in Khartoum as “desperate attempts.” He stressed ongoing coordination between civilian and military actors to pull Sudan out of what he called a “dark tunnel.” He also revealed that all possible means had been used to lift the siege on El-Fasher, criticising the weakness of international community support and humanitarian operations.

Dialogue and Political Process

The prime minister reiterated that Sudan’s dialogue is aimed at preserving the “prestige of the state.” He denied contacting RSF leader Hemeti, arguing that he does not hold the final key to resolving the crisis, and noted that other forces possess the real leverage for peace. Idris also accused the Sovereignty Council of overstepping into civilian matters, warning that this only stirs division.

International Relations

Idris confirmed plans to visit Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed efforts to strengthen ties with Washington. He announced that he will head Sudan’s delegation to the upcoming UN General Assembly. Domestically, he noted the formation of an economic committee working around the clock and said his government is focused on national planning, not just reconstruction.
