The United Arab Emirates reacted with outrage yesterday after the home of its ambassador in war-torn Sudan was attacked and badly damaged. The kingdom blamed the Sudanese armed forces for the "heinous" attack.
Sudan's army denied carrying out the attack, insisting it does not target diplomatic missions. The army accuses the UAE of backing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which it has been fighting since April 2023 in a war that has killed tens of thousands of people and ignited a dire humanitarian crisis.
"The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned the heinous attack that targeted the residence of the UAE head of mission in Khartoum by a Sudanese army aircraft, which resulted in extensive damage to the building," the official WAM news agency said.
"The UAE has called on the army to assume full responsibility for this cowardly act," it added, describing it as a "flagrant violation of the fundamental principle of the inviolability of diplomatic premises".
