The United Arab Emirates is steadfast in its commitment to supporting efforts for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan, emphasizing the protection of civilians and the need for accountability. Recent statements from UAE officials reaffirm the nation’s dedication to working alongside international and regional partners to bring a halt to the ongoing violence in Sudan. This commitment comes in light of recent allegations from local authorities that inaccurately depict the UAE’s involvement in the conflict.
UAE’s Diplomatic Stance
His Excellency Dr. Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic advisor to the UAE President, reiterated the country’s support for immediate ceasefire efforts in Sudan. In a statement shared on the platform “X,” he expressed, “The UAE responds to the claims made by the Port Sudan Authority, one of the warring parties, and confirms its commitment to supporting international and regional efforts for an immediate ceasefire, protecting civilians, ensuring accountability for atrocities and violations, and collaborating with partners to find a comprehensive solution that ends this war and guarantees a safe future for Sudan and its brotherly people.”
Rejection of Unfounded Allegations
The UAE has categorically rejected the baseless accusations outlined in a statement from the Port Sudan Authority. These allegations claimed the UAE was involved in the ongoing conflict by providing support to specific armed factions. The UAE firmly stated that such claims, devoid of any evidence, are simply feeble media maneuvers aimed at diverting attention from the direct responsibility of the local authority in prolonging this civil war, which has lasted over two years and has undermined all international and regional peace efforts.
International and Regional Cooperation
In light of the escalating violence, the UAE emphasizes the importance of a united front among global and regional actors. The aim is to not only facilitate a ceasefire but also to work towards a sustainable resolution that addresses the root causes of the conflict. By collaborating with various stakeholders, the UAE seeks to pave the way for a peaceful resolution that prioritizes the welfare of civilians impacted by the ongoing strife.
Looking Forward
The UAE remains optimistic about the prospects for peace in Sudan. By actively engaging with international partners and promoting dialogue, the nation hopes to play a crucial role in fostering a safe and stable environment for the Sudanese people. The commitment to support efforts for a ceasefire remains a cornerstone of the UAE’s foreign policy, demonstrating the country’s resolve to stand with its regional allies and address pressing humanitarian challenges.
