The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has severed diplomatic relations with Sudan. This decision comes amidst accusations of the UAE supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the ongoing conflict. The Sudanese army has been battling the RSF since April 2023.
The UAE denies these allegations. They claim to support humanitarian efforts and stability in Sudan. The Sudanese government accuses the UAE of backing the RSF with advanced weaponry.
The UAE's ambassador to the UN stated that his country does not support any warring party in Sudan. He added that they have not received confirmation of the UN panel of experts' findings regarding the UAE's alleged support for the RSF.
The Sudanese government's accusations and the UAE's denial highlight the complex dynamics of the conflict. This diplomatic rift could further complicate efforts to resolve the crisis. The situation remains tense, with both sides trading accusations and denying involvement in the conflict.
