UAE Says It Doesn't Recognize Sudan’s Move to Cut Ties

The United Arab Emirates has responded to Sudan’s latest announcement with a firm message: “We don’t recognize it.”

On Wednesday, the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it does not accept or recognize the decision by Sudan’s army-backed defence council to cut diplomatic ties with the Gulf nation.

This comes after the Sudanese defence council said on Sunday that it would sever ties with the UAE, accusing it of supplying advanced weapons to the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF). According to the Sudanese army, these weapons, allegedly including drones, have allowed the RSF to launch damaging attacks in Port Sudan, a key city on the Red Sea and a stronghold of the army in the ongoing civil war.

The conflict between Sudan’s military and the RSF has been raging for nearly two years, displacing millions and devastating parts of the country. The recent accusations mark a serious escalation, with Port Sudan previously considered a relatively safe zone.

The UAE, however, is pushing back. The foreign ministry’s statement signals that Abu Dhabi does not acknowledge the authority or legitimacy of the Sudanese defence council’s move, especially given the complex and fractured nature of Sudan’s political landscape right now.

As tensions rise, the situation remains fluid, and it's unclear how this diplomatic fallout will impact regional dynamics or the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
