The United Arab Emirates' foreign ministry has dismissed a decision made by Sudan's army-affiliated defense council to cut diplomatic relations with the UAE. The decision arose after allegations from Sudan, claiming that Abu Dhabi had supplied the rival Rapid Support Forces with advanced weaponry.
The Sudanese council accused the UAE of enabling the paramilitary group to conduct damaging operations, including drone strikes, in Port Sudan. This development marks a significant escalation in Sudan's ongoing civil conflict, which has been simmering for two years.
The UAE's dismissal of the decision highlights a diplomatic rift between the two nations. As tensions rise, the global community watches closely for further reactions in this complex geopolitical landscape.
