Sudan’s government has condemned the UAE’s plans to hold a conference on Sudan during the African Union summit in Ethiopia, calling it an “all-out aggression.” Sudan filed a complaint with the UN against the UAE for providing military support to the RSF and asserted that no discussions regarding Sudan’s internal matters should occur without its consent, especially when instigated by an external party.
On February 10, 2025, Sudan’s government expressed strong condemnation of the United Arab Emirates’ initiative to organize a conference regarding Sudan’s situation during the upcoming African Union summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Sudan’s Deputy Chairman, Malik Agar, characterized the UAE’s actions as “an all-out aggression” and stated that they violated Sudanese sovereignty.
Agar highlighted that Sudan has officially lodged a complaint with the UN Security Council, accusing the UAE of supplying military equipment and advanced weaponry to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) via Chad. He emphasized that the proposed conference is an act of aggression against Sudan, undermining the principles of the African Union that advocate for respect for sovereignty.
The Deputy Chairman criticized the timing of the proposed conference, set for February 14, which coincides with a critical meeting of African leaders in the Peace and Security Council. He argued that the UAE aims to impose its political agenda on Sudan, confusing the political discourse in the region and diverting attention from Sudan’s interests to serve Emirati motives.
Agar called upon Ethiopia to consider the collective interests of the region and praised Egypt for rejecting the UAE’s approach. He asserted that Sudan will not tolerate discussions regarding its internal matters without its participation, particularly if such discussions are instigated by an external nation.
Furthermore, Agar accused the UAE of attempting to rehabilitate its reputation while concealing its direct involvement in supporting terrorism in Africa, particularly through the RSF. He insisted that Sudan’s sovereignty must remain uncontested, urging the global community to unite against these aggressive attempts.
Agar reported ongoing efforts by Sudanese national forces to restore security and stability in the face of RSF rebellions, acknowledging that while military action is necessary, a path toward comprehensive political dialogue is essential to address the needs of victims and restore governance.
He concluded by calling for a reassessment of the African Union’s decisions relating to Sudan and emphasized Sudan’s commitment to a roadmap for a post-war government that prioritizes national dialogue and political liberties without compromising on core national values.
In summary, Sudan’s government has firmly rejected the UAE’s initiative to convene a conference concerning Sudan’s affairs during the African Union summit. The Sudanese leadership emphasizes the violation of sovereignty and the need for inclusive dialogue to address internal issues, urging regional partners to respect Sudan’s independence.
