The United Arab Emirates has voiced serious concerns regarding the escalating military conflict in El Obeid, Sudan. The UAE statement highlights the deteriorating security situation and its potential impact on civilians. Authorities urge an immediate cessation of hostilities and a return to peaceful dialogue to resolve the crisis. The escalation in El Obeid represents a significant development in the wider conflict gripping Sudan, which began in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The UAE reiterated its commitment to Sudan’s stability and called for protecting civilians and infrastructure. This expression of concern follows previous UAE efforts to mediate and provide humanitarian assistance to the war-torn nation. The ongoing violence threatens to exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation in Sudan.
