Sudan renewed its accusations against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday, alleging that the Gulf nation continues to provide military, financial, and logistical backing to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the ongoing conflict. Sudan has called on the United Nations Security Council to take decisive steps to address these “persistent hostile actions.”
In an official letter addressed to the President of the Security Council on October 11, Sudan presented what it referred to as new proof of the UAE’s involvement in aiding the RSF. This follows a previous complaint lodged on March 29, accusing the UAE of inciting the conflict and collaborating with Chad to support the RSF.
The letter highlighted cases where injured RSF fighters received treatment at Zayed Military Hospital in Abu Dhabi. It also included photographs of heavy artillery ammunition boxes labeled with the UAE’s name, allegedly captured after clashes in Jabal Moya. Additionally, images of trucks with Dubai license plates purportedly used to transport weapons and ammunition were submitted, alongside claims of confiscated Emirati-produced medicines and supplies found with RSF forces.
“These items, currently in the possession of the Sudanese Armed Forces, are available for examination by UN experts,” the letter stated.
Furthermore, Sudan accused the UAE of recruiting mercenaries from various nations to bolster the RSF, providing these fighters with substantial financial, logistical, and diplomatic assistance.
Sudan’s Foreign Ministry declared, “The UAE’s involvement makes it a primary collaborator in the war of aggression against Sudan.”
The letter also accused the UAE of undermining international law and the UN’s authority, asserting that it is pursuing an agenda in Sudan based on “ethnic dominance,” posing a significant threat to regional peace.
Sudan called on the Security Council to issue a formal condemnation of the UAE and to hold it accountable for its alleged actions.
The UAE has previously rejected these claims.
