Sudan’s army-controlled government has sharply criticized the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for allegedly undermining Sudan’s sovereignty by pushing for humanitarian aid deliveries across conflict lines without official consent.
The controversy erupted after the UAE’s foreign ministry called on the UN Security Council to authorize vital aid delivery to famine-stricken areas across frontlines and borders to address Sudan’s severe humanitarian crisis.
Sudan’s army-controlled foreign ministry condemned this move as a breach of its sovereignty.
The Sudanese government, controlled by General al-Burhan and his SAF, has long accused the UAE of exacerbating the conflict by arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Al-Burhan’s government claims to have presented evidence of these allegations to the Security Council.
It also challenged the UAE’s call for Security Council intervention, demanding transparency regarding Emirati humanitarian aid efforts.
This diplomatic dispute further complicates the already complex situation in Sudan and impedes efforts toward a peaceful resolution.
The disagreement also poses challenges to U.S. efforts to engage the UAE in resolving the conflict, which is opposed by Sudanese military leaders.
