The UAE's commitment to Sudan's future remains strong
For more than five decades, the UAE and Sudan have had close relations bound by deep ties of trade, culture and friendship. Since the UAE's founding in 1971, our nations have exchanged goods, ideas and celebrations. The UAE has invested in Sudan – funding agriculture and clean water, and supporting and creating jobs through business investments. Today, the large and highly respected Sudanese expatriate community living in the UAE stands as a testament to this enduring connection. Throughout Sudan's turbulent history of wars and coups, the UAE was always there to help and support the Sudanese people. Regrettably, the civil war that erupted in April 2023 has reshaped Sudan's reality, bringing death, destruction and immense suffering to its people. For nearly two years, we have worked tirelessly with our partners to help alleviate this catastrophe – in concerted attempts to avoid the war following the overthrow of the civilian government and later on supporting negotiations, providing aid, and repeatedly urging both warring sides to stop the fighting and seek a political outcome. Our commitment to peace extends beyond words. Over the past decade, the UAE has contributed more than $3.5 billion in humanitarian aid to Sudan, and since the conflict this has amounted to more than $600 million. Furthermore, the UAE's voice was one of the most active in highlighting the effects of this war on the helpless and hapless civilians. We have also partnered with neighbouring countries to bolster humanitarian relief and have convened international actors to push for a peaceful resolution. Most recently, this was evident at the UAE-hosted humanitarian conference on Sudan in Addis Ababa, held on the margins of the African Union summit, along with Ethiopia, the AU and the continent's Intergovernmental Authority on Development. Numerous nations gathered together to call for a Ramadan ceasefire and reaffirm their commitment to Sudan's future. There, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres delivered a stark message: the world must act – urgently and decisively – to help the people of Sudan out of this nightmare. We fully agree, which is why our pursuit of a ceasefire remains unwavering. This commitment is part of our longstanding vision to promote peace, prosperity, partnership and sustainable economic development across Africa. UAE companies have played a vital role in connecting the continent – building ports, expanding flight networks and financing major infrastructure projects. Our collaborations with African businesses have created jobs, fostered innovation, and supported training and education programmes for young Africans. We have built together strong diplomatic and trade relationships and deepened fraternal ties across the continent. Today, the UAE stands among Africa's largest investors, with a legacy of collaboration spanning more than 50 years. Our goal is clear: we want both Africa and the Middle East to thrive and flourish together. The Sudanese Armed Forces-led government's farcical actions at the International Court of Justice are nothing more than a political game and publicity stunt – an attempt to drag a longstanding friend of Sudan and Africa into the conflict they themselves have fuelled. This follows the SAF's absurd actions at the UN Security Council, which were similarly built on fabrications, falsehoods and fiction. Let there be no confusion: the SAF are one of the two warring parties. Following the military's seizure of power in October 2021, and the overthrow of the civilian transitional government that derailed Sudan's civilian-led transition, they have played a central role in the ensuing conflict and instability. Their actions have directly contributed to Sudan's suspension from the African Union, underscoring their illegitimacy in the eyes of the international community. The UAE is part of an international consensus when it views the SAF and the Rapid Support Forces as two warring parties. If the SAF truly seek peace, the path is clear – come to the negotiating table that has already been extended in the form of the Jeddah Declaration and the Alps Group, among others. This war can end today if both sides agree to disengage and accept the repeated offers for talks made by the international community and trusted partners. The tragic reality is that the bullets and bombings killing innocent Sudanese civilians are fired by the forces of both the SAF and the RSF. It is even more disheartening to hear reports about the use of chemical weapons by the SAF during this conflict, and throughout Sudan's history. Regrettably, both sides continue to fight, committing the very acts that have led to their sanctions from the US and others. Meanwhile, the UAE provides medicine, food, shelter and humanitarian aid. Despite ongoing disinformation campaigns, we do not support or supply either side. We unequivocally condemn the atrocities committed by both parties and call for their immediate cessation. We remain committed to Africa's development and prosperity. Our support for the innocent fleeing refugees – through hospitals to camps, in South Sudan and Chad, established in collaboration with their governments – will continue. Most importantly, we will persist in playing whatever constructive role we can to help end this humanitarian catastrophe and senseless war. The people of Sudan deserve more than survival – they deserve a future built on peace and dignity. We must not look away. Our commitment is to these people and not to the warring parties.

The World Governments Summit has begun at just the right time
As the World Governments Summit begins today, it is worth reflecting on how often the UAE-hosted event has tackled challenges and assessed opportunities, producing thinking that is ahead of its time. From topics as diverse as artificial intelligence and mental health, as well as food security, climate change and citizens' happiness, for more than 10 years the Dubai forum has proved itself to be a valuable international meeting point, aimed at improved governance. What makes this annual summit a consistent fixture of the international calendar is how expansive its exchange of ideas is; few other forums can command a list of participants with such breadth of experience. More than 30 heads of state and government will attend, including the Presidents of Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Poland. They will be joined by more than 80 international organisations and about 6,000 individual experts. Any summit that can bring tech figures such as Google chief executive Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk together with important individuals like Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has more than proved its relevance. Those attending this week's summit are meeting at a critical time. The speed and profundity of recent developments – global and regional – require strong leadership, collaboration and innovative thinking. In the Middle East, new governments in Syria and Lebanon are taking shape as a tentative ceasefire holds in Gaza. In Washington, a new and very different America is being created; this promises to have far-reaching political, economic and security implications for the rest of the world. Indeed, many of the world's current talking points – global trade, government efficiency, the future of health care and international security – will be scrutinised and debated over the next three days in Dubai. Consensus is never guaranteed but bringing together people with different competencies and perspectives contributes to better understanding – and in today's fragmented world, this is a commodity that is often in short supply. This storm of change that is taking place makes it more important than ever to prepare the next generation of policymakers. Complementing the work of the WGS this week has been the first meeting of the Young Arab Leaders Forum that took place in Dubai on Monday. More than 200 emerging leaders took part, and there are plans to grow the event; Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, has said the initiative aims to attract 50,000 participants in the coming years. The UAE is an apt place for an ambitious project to develop leadership among the next generation. Consistent Arab Youth Survey results have revealed how many young people across the region see the Emirates' model as one that they aspire to. A forward-looking approach to policy and problem solving will be indispensable in the years to come, owing to the sheer number and scale of the challenges facing 21st-century humanity. This week's World Governments Summit is undoubtedly important for the present but also because it will set the tone for future convenings, with the summits of 2030 or 2035 also being ones to watch.
