The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has strongly criticized Sudan’s General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan for his persistent refusal to agree to a ceasefire, labeling his actions as ‘consistently obstructive behavior.’ Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy, UAE’s Minister of State for International Cooperation, emphasized that the Sudanese people are paying the highest price for this ongoing conflict. ‘The Sudanese people bear the heaviest cost as General Burhan refuses peace overtures once more,’ she stated. The UAE has called for an ‘unconditional and immediate ceasefire’ to halt the civil war, expressing grave concern over the escalating military actions and the obstruction of humanitarian aid by both warring factions. Al Hashimy warned that these actions are pushing Sudan closer to collapse. The UAE also commended US President Donald Trump’s initiatives to prevent Sudan from descending further into extremism and humanitarian disaster. The minister urged for a unified regional and international effort to establish a credible path toward a united Sudan, emphasizing the need to end atrocities against civilians. The United Nations has described the situation in Sudan as ‘one of the worst humanitarian tragedies in modern history,’ with aid access being weaponized and civilians deliberately starved.
