The Sudanese paramilitary group has said that it is open to negotiations despite signing a constitution that reinforces its intention to establish a parallel government.

The signing of the constitution has drawn criticism both locally and internationally,  with opponents condemning the move as a potential catalyst for further fragmentation in the war-ravaged country.

Groups aligned with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had previously signed a transitional charter advocating for several changes, including the establishment of a secular state in Sudan.

On Monday, the allied group signed a transitional constitution in Nairobi, further cementing its commitment to form a parallel government.
