PORT SUDAN – The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has accused the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of attacking the residence of its ambassador in Khartoum and called on the country’s traditional army to admit responsibility for what it described as “heinous” and “cowardly” action.

The UAE, which has been accused by the Sudanese government and the international community of arms support for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the main rival of SAF in the ongoing conflict, has not however revealed when the incident took place, describing it as terrorism.

“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 UAE has called on the army to assume full responsibility for this cowardly act,” the statement dated September 29 reads in part.

“The Ministry expressed its strong condemnation of these criminal acts, and its permanent rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism aimed at destabilizing security and stability, in contravention of international law,” the statement added.

The statement further threatened to protest before the Arab League, the African Union (AU), and the United Nations (UN) and described the alleged attack as a “flagrant violation” of the international laws governing diplomacy.

“In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) affirmed that it will submit a letter to the League of Arab States, the African Union, and the United Nations against this attack by the Sudanese Armed Forces, as it represents a flagrant violation of the fundamental principle of the inviolability of diplomatic premises,” the statement said.

“The Ministry stressed the importance of protecting diplomatic buildings and embassy staff residences, in accordance with the treaties and customs that regulate diplomatic relations,” it added.

The announcement by the UAE government, while it did not disclose when the incident took place, comes after the Gulf nation announced that at least four of its security officers died. The government did not disclose where and when the officers died, other than “in the state.”

The Ministry of Defense announced their deaths on Wednesday, with the four identified as Corp Ahmed Mohammed Rashid Al Shehhi, Private 1st Class Nahyan Abdullah Ahmed Al Marzouqi, Pte 1st Class Abdul Aziz Saeed Sabt Al Tunaiji, and Pte 1st Class Nasser Mohammed Yousef Al Balushi.

They were “carrying out their duty in the country” on Tuesday evening when the incident happened, according to the statement.

Their death also comes after the SAF bombed Nyala Airport in an airstrike following allegations that an Emirati plane had landed at the airport and allegedly brought military support to the RSF.
