Sudan announced on Tuesday the decision to cut diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates.
The move came after accusing the UAE of supporting paramilitary forces following a drone strike in Port Sudan.
The drone strike targeted a building used by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group in Sudan.
The RSF has been accused of human rights abuses and atrocities in the country.
The attack on Port Sudan’s port resulted in the death of two people and injured several others.
Sudan’s Foreign Ministry condemned the UAE’s alleged support for the RSF as a violation of international law.
The UAE has denied any involvement in the drone strike and expressed regret over Sudan’s decision to sever ties.
The rift between Sudan and the UAE highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region.
It remains to be seen how this diplomatic fallout will impact relations between the two countries in the future.
