UAE urges end to Sudan conflict amid escalating disinformation from Port Sudan Authority
Since the onset of the civil war, the UAE has consistently supported regional and international efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire, protect civilians, and ensure accountability for violations committed by all warring parties.
The UAE remains committed to a civilian-led process that places the needs of the Sudanese people above the interests of any faction.
In this spirit, the UAE notes a marked increase in unfounded accusations and deliberate propaganda from the so-called Port Sudan Authority, one of the warring parties to the civil war, which actively undermines efforts to end the conflict and restore stability. These escalating fabrications form part of a calculated pattern of deflection - shifting blame to others to evade responsibility for its own actions - intended to prolong the war and obstruct a genuine peace process.
The UAE reaffirms its unwavering commitment to working closely with partners to foster dialogue, mobilize international support, and contribute to initiatives that address the humanitarian crisis and lay the groundwork for sustainable peace. These efforts will assist in building a secure and stable future for Sudan that meets the aspirations of the brotherly Sudanese people for peace and development.

United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) leaders visit polling centres, welcome successful elections in 26 municipalities
Special Representative of the Secretary-General Hanna Tetteh and her two deputies visited three Tripoli polling centres Saturday to witness municipal elections and meet with the High National Elections Commission staff and election observers who were overseeing the voting. SRSG Tetteh and the Deputy Special-Representative of the Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Stephanie Koury, toured polling centres in Central Tripoli and Hai Al Andlus municipalities. DSRSG, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Aeneas Chuma visited Souq Al Jouma. Municipal elections were conducted yesterday in 26 municipalities. 'What you are doing here today is important,' SRSG Tetteh told HNEC staff and elections observers. 'I know you are facing significant operational and security challenges, but the Libyan people have the right to select their own leaders through peaceful, credible, and inclusive elections. Every step towards the goal counts.' In the week leading up to the elections, HNEC offices in Zliten, Zawiya, and Sahel al Gharbi were attacked. Those in Sahel al Gharbi and in Zawiya were burned, in the latter destroying all electoral materials for seven municipalities. Meanwhile, in the country's east and south, the House of Representatives-appointed government ordered elections be halted in 16 municipalities. The Mission, in two statements issued Thursday and Friday, strongly condemned the attacks and negative government interference, labelling them 'unacceptable' and calling all to 'ensure a conducive environment for the free and orderly conduct of the elections.' 'I am very pleased to see that municipal elections went ahead successfully in 26 municipalities today,' SRSG Tetteh said. 'These elections matter because they give people a real say in how their communities are run. I encourage all institutions to keep moving forward so that elections can take place across Libya.' The polling centers were set up in schools. Each had separate rooms for men and women to vote. In each room, voters moved through four stations. Their identities were verified, they received a ballot for each race being contested in their municipality, they voted, then they dropped their vote into a transparent ballot box. All boxes used for polling purposes were sealed with special-purpose seals with unique identification numbers. The SRSG commended HNEC on its technical preparations and professionalism. 'I am proud of the way my staff have performed,' said an HNEC supervisor at Souq al Jouma. 'They are following their training to make sure the elections are conducted in a credible manner.' An election observer at Hai Al Andlus commented: 'The municipal elections provide hope that national elections and political change can happen.' Earlier yesturday, DSRSG Koury attended a press conference at HNEC headquarters, where HNEC leaders gave an overview of their preparations and the plan for the day of polling. 'The Libyan citizen, in light of the grave challenges they face, including the declining level of services and the difficulty of meeting basic needs, has chosen the path of change and reform,' said HNEC Board Member Abdulhakim Al-Chaab, during the press conference. 'They aspire to end the daily queues of suffering through the queues of elections.' Distributed by APO Group on behalf of United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).

Trump claims 'big progress on Russia' as US defends Putin meeting on Ukraine
US President Donald Trump asked his followers on the Truth Social platform to "stay tuned" for updates on the prospect of a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire. The advice came only two days after what many considered to be Mr Trump's anticlimactic meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. "Big progress on Russia," he posted on his social media platform. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday defended the US rolling out the red carpet for Russian President Vladimir Putin for the meeting in Alaska. On ABC's Sunday political show, This Week, Mr Rubio was asked about analysts who said the Russian President got the upper hand on the world stage because he walked away without making concessions, at least publicly, regarding the Ukraine-Russian war, while being seen shaking hands with Mr Trump on a podium. "Critics of President Trump are always going to find something to criticise him for," Mr Rubio said. He added that Mr Putin's three and a half year war with Ukraine has already given him the spotlight on the world stage, regardless of how the Alaska summit looked. "He has the world's largest tactical nuclear arsenal and the second-largest strategic arsenal in the world ... all the media does is talk about Putin all the time, that doesn't mean he's right or justified about the war," he added. "That's just common sense, I shouldn't have to explain it," he said. From Ukraine's perspective, security guarantees were paramount for any deal with Russia to come to fruition, he added. "They want assurance that they won't be re-invaded in two or three years," and the White House was working to make those assurances for Kyiv possible, Mr Rubio said. Also on Sunday, Trump administration special envoy Steve Witkoff dismissed the notion that little was achieved in Alaska during an appearance on CNN's State of the Union. Mr Witkoff said that as the Trump administration had addressed all the issues necessary for a ceasefire to be achieved, "substantial progress" was made. "The fundamental issue is some sort of land swap, which is ultimately in the control of the Ukrainians. That could not have been discussed at this meeting but we intend to discuss it on Monday," he said of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's trip to Washington for talks with Mr Trump. Several media reports have suggested Mr Putin has promised to end the war and not attack any other European countries in exchange for a land swap deal, under which Ukraine would cede the Donbas region to Russia. The Russian President is reported to have privately made clear his desire for control of five key Ukrainian regions. Mr Witkoff said he "didn't have the time to go through all the different issues about five regions", but all those in question "have always been the crux of the deal". He also insisted Russia had made some concessions during Friday's meeting but declined to elaborate. Mr Witkoff said Mr Zelenskyy had been briefed by Mr Trump after the Alaska summit. "The President got right on the phone with him and he deserved that," he said. Despite his failure to come away with a ceasefire, Mr Trump said there had been 'some great progress' on ending the war in Ukraine, without offering details. In a subsequent interview with Fox News, he raised the possibility of another summit involving Mr Zelenskyy and suggested the next move towards peace must come from Kyiv. ' Now, it's really up to President Zelenskyy to get it done and I would also say the European nations, they have to get involved a little bit, but it's up to President Zelenskyy,' he said. "And if they'd like, I'll be at that next meeting."
