The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, strongly condemned a drone attack that targeted at least three strategic sites in Sudan’s Khartoum State, including Khartoum International Airport, describing it as a serious escalation threatening regional stability.

In a statement on Monday, Aboul Gheit said the use of unmanned aerial vehicles against civilian facilities and critical infrastructure—reportedly launched from outside Sudanese territory—represents a “dangerous escalation” that further worsens the country’s humanitarian and security crisis.

His spokesperson, Gamal Roshdy, said the Secretary-General reaffirmed the League’s full support for Sudan in preserving its security, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, as well as protecting its national institutions and infrastructure.

The Arab League warned that such attacks risk widening the conflict and undermining Arab, African, and international efforts aimed at de-escalation and a Sudanese-led political process.

The statement also urged all parties to avoid actions that could obstruct ongoing diplomatic efforts, including attempts to secure a comprehensive ceasefire, revive the Jeddah peace process, and advance an inclusive civilian dialogue.

Sudan has been gripped by conflict since April 2023, with repeated warnings from regional and international actors over the war’s expanding impact across the region.
