CAIRO (Reuters) – On Wednesday, the foreign ministry of the United Arab Emirates announced its refusal to acknowledge the decision made by Sudan’s army-backed defense council to terminate diplomatic relations with the UAE.
This move by the Sudanese defense council, announced on Sunday, was prompted by accusations that the UAE had provided the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) with advanced and military-grade weaponry.
According to the defense council, these weapons have facilitated the RSF in launching significant attacks, including drone strikes, on targets in the Red Sea port city of Port Sudan, marking a serious escalation in the ongoing civil conflict that has persisted for two years.
