The Turkish Foreign Ministry condemned an attack on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Embassy residence in Khartoum, Sudan.
The Gulf state has blamed the Sudanese armed forces, which fight paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in the capital, for the “heinous” attack.
Türkiye called the attack a “blatant violation of international law and diplomatic norms” and urged all parties to respect international law, especially the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Türkiye reaffirmed its commitment to securing a cease-fire and achieving lasting peace in Sudan.
Sudan has been in turmoil since April 2023 due to clashes between the army, led by Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF, commanded by Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo.
The conflict has resulted in over 12,260 deaths and 33,000 injuries, along with a worsening humanitarian crisis, as 6.8 million people have been displaced.
Despite several cease-fire attempts brokered by Saudi Arabia and U.S. mediators, the violence persists.
Last month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with al-Burhan during the U.N. General Assembly, highlighting the growing relations between Turkey and Sudan.
