Sudan accuses UAE of fuelling conflict

Sudan and the UAE have clashed at the UN Security Council over accusations by the army-aligned Sudanese Government that the UAE is providing weapons and support to a rival warring party in the country's 14-month long conflict. News24 reports that the UAE’s UN Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab said Sudan's UN Ambassador Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed had made ‘ludicrous’ and false allegations designed to distract from ‘grave violations that are happening on the ground.’ ‘The military aggression launched by the Rapid Support militia, supported with weapons by the Emirates, is deliberately and systematically targeting the villages and cities,’ Mohamed told the council. UN sanctions monitors have described as ‘credible’ accusations that the UAE had provided military support to the RSF. The UAE has denied involvement in military support to any of Sudan's warring parties.
