The Sudan Founding Alliance (Tasees) has condemned the Port Sudan Authority’s decision to sever diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), calling it an “invalid” and “hostile” move that does not represent the Sudanese people.
In a statement, the alliance criticized the declaration made by the “Security and Defense Council,” which designated the UAE as an “aggressor state,” labeling it as lacking political and moral legitimacy.
Tasees argued that the decision fails to recognize the long-standing relations between Sudan and the UAE, which have historically been based on mutual respect and cooperation. The Alliance described the move as a futile attempt by the army-controlled government, which they accused of being led by the Muslim Brotherhood, to exacerbate regional tensions and deflect attention from its internal crises. They also noted the failure of Sudan’s complaint against the UAE before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the rejection of this claim by the international community.
The alliance expressed concern over the potential impact on Sudanese citizens living in the UAE, warning that the decision could lead to threats of passport revocation.
Tasees urged Sudanese citizens at home and abroad to disregard what they termed “reckless hostile behavior” and maintain strong ties with countries that have supported Sudan during difficult times.
Despite the official hostility, the UAE has continued its diplomatic representation in Sudan, a gesture that Tasees attributed to respect for the Sudanese people rather than recognition of the current government.
The alliance ridiculed the actions of the coup leaders, pointing out the contradictory positions of Sudanese military leaders, including the “so-called Minister of Defense” declaring war while General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan refrained from mentioning the UAE in a recent video.
Tasees concluded by affirming that the Sudanese people will not be deceived by these moves, stating that the forces of revolution will continue to push for change and the establishment of a free, civil state, one that belongs to the future and not to a past marked by bloodshed and empty slogans.
