Sudanese army escalates , severing ties with UAE after failing international lawsuit!
Sudanese army officially announced severing diplomatic relations with UAE ,Today Tuesday , after its lawsuit against Abu Dhabi at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) failed. This decision has sparked widespread questions about the future of relations between the two countries, especially amid escalating political and military tensions in the region. Official local sources confirmed that Sudan's Army considers the UAE a "hostile state", accusing it of supporting RSF with advanced weaponry—something Khartoum described as "a blatant intervention in the country's affairs". The decision came after the International Court of Justice refused to hear Sudan's case, stating that it "lacked jurisdiction", which was seen as a major legal and political setback for Khartoum. The UAE, for its part, denied all Sudanese accusations, affirming that it advocates for a peaceful resolution to Sudan's conflict and describing Sudan's decision as "an unjustified escalation" that could further complicate the crisis in the region. This escalation raises concerns about serious diplomatic consequences, particularly for Sudan's ties with Gulf nations. The UAE had previously provided economic and humanitarian assistance to Sudan over the years.

UN final report on Sudan does not make 'single finding against UAE', Gargash Says
Although one of the warring parties in Sudan, the SAF, has repeatedly made "baseless accusations" against UAE, a United Nations report "does not make a single finding" against the country, said Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab, Permanent Representative of the UAE to the UN. A top diplomat affirmed that the report refutes "false accusations" made by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) against the UAE. Dr Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Adviser to the UAE President, pointed out the SAF's "systematic disinformation campaign" against the UAE that aims to "evade responsibility" for their own actions. He wrote, 'We call for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire, serious peace talks, unhindered humanitarian aid & independent civilian government.' The international community must help the Sudanese people gain peace and stability by "unify[ing] its efforts behind a credible political process that leads to a civilian-led government, independent from the military," Abushahab said. Earlier, Sudan filed a case against the UAE at the International Court of Justice. The final report by the UN Panel of Experts on Sudan was released by the UN Security Council, and provides "no support for the SAF's unsubstantiated allegations," he said. The report highlights widespread atrocities by both warring parties against the Sudanese people, which include attacks on civilians, sexual violence, and weaponisation of humanitarian aid, said the Permanent Representative of the UAE to the UN. Accusations against UAE, and response Sudan's case to the World Court alleged that UAE violated its obligations under the Genocide Convention by arming the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Government officials in the Emirates have called the case "a publicity stunt" and earlier, called for a dismissal of the application. When the ICJ convened to hear a response to Sudan's application, UAE emphasised a lack of jurisdictional basis for the case. The country also stressed that Sudan's accusations were "pure fabrication" and meant to 'distract attention from their own culpability.'
