Khartoum has accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of directly participating in drone strikes on Port Sudan. This marks the first time Sudan has blamed a Gulf state for active military intervention in its ongoing civil war against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The drone strikes have significantly escalated tensions and violence in the strategic coastal city of Port Sudan, which serves as a vital port for the country. The conflict has drawn international concern as clashes between government forces and paramilitary groups continue unabated.
Key Points of the Conflict
- Sudan accuses UAE of direct involvement in drone attacks.
- This is the first accusation against a Gulf state for active military participation.
- Port Sudan is a strategic coastal city and crucial port for Sudan.
- Ongoing conflict between the Sudanese government and Rapid Support Forces.
- International concerns over escalating violence and humanitarian impact.
- The UAE has not yet responded to these accusations.
Humanitarian and International Impact
The situation remains volatile, with civilians caught in the crossfire and many displaced due to the fighting. Humanitarian access to affected areas is severely limited by ongoing hostilities, compounding the crisis.
The international community has called for:
- Restraint from all parties involved.
- Dialogue to peacefully resolve the conflict.
- An investigation into the alleged UAE involvement.
- Respect for Sudan’s sovereignty.
Experts warn that the involvement of external powers like the UAE could further complicate peace efforts in the Horn of Africa region. This development marks a significant moment in the Sudanese civil war and may alter the dynamics of international relations there.
