Sudan has broken diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates (VAE) after repeatedly accused Golf Nation of supporting the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the Civil War of the country.
The announcement came when the RSF was accused of attacks on the mostly safe city of Port Sudan, which started on Sunday and continued until Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Sudan’s Minister of Defense Yassin Ibrahim accused the VAE of violating the sovereignty of his country through his “Proxy”, the RSF.
The VAE has repeatedly denied accusations that it gives financial, military and political support to the paramilitary force.
Two years of conflict killed thousands, forced millions from their homes and created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
As a result of the announcement of the Minister of Defense, the Sudanese ambassador will be withdrawn from the VAE and Sudan will close his diplomatic missions in the golf nation.
Since Sunday, Drone strikes have an international airport, a large power plant and a hotel in Port Sudan. The army has accused the RSF of being behind the attack, but the paramilitary group still has to comment.
On Wednesday, the Sudanese army said it had thwarted a strike on the largest naval base in the country.
“They (the drones) were met with anti-aircraft missiles,” an unnamed source told the AFP press office.
Until now, Port Sudan had avoided the bombing and was considered one of the safest places in the war destroyed by war.
Sudan’s army has often accused the of the RSF arming.
Both the UK and the US have broadcast the VAE in separate professions for external countries to stop supporting the warring parties of Sudan.
On Monday, however, the top court of the UN rejected Sudan’s case against the VAE, in which she accused the Gulf state of complicity in genocide.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that the case could not take place because the VAE had canceled Article 9 of the Genocide Treaty, which means that it cannot be sued by other states for genocide charges.
Reem Ketait, the deputy assistant of the VAE for political affairs, said that the court’s decision was “clear and decisive”.
“The international community must urgently concentrate on the termination of this devastating war and supporting the Sudanese people, and it must demand that humanitarian aid achieves all those in need,” she said.
Both the army and RSF are accused of war crimes.
