The United Arab Emirates strongly condemned the violent attack carried out against the residence of the Emirati head of mission in Khartoum, an attack orchestrated by a Sudanese army aircraft, causing serious damage to the building.
This act, described as “cowardly” by the Emirati authorities, immediately provoked a strong reaction, in which the Emirates called on the Sudanese army to take full responsibility for the event.
In an official statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) declared its intention to submit a formal complaint to the League of Arab States, the African Union and the United Nations.

The Ministry stressed that this act constitutes a flagrant violation of the fundamental principle of the inviolability of diplomatic premises, a pillar of international law. This principle, enshrined in the conventions governing diplomatic relations, requires the absolute protection of diplomatic buildings and embassy staff residences.
The Ministry also expressed its firm condemnation of these criminal acts, reiterating its total rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism aimed at destabilizing security and stability, practices which are contrary to international law.
This position reaffirms the Emirates’ commitment to defending regional stability and protecting diplomatic personnel in an increasingly volatile climate in Sudan.
This incident exacerbates the already tense situation in Sudan, where violent clashes have broken out between various military factions.
The United Arab Emirates, while maintaining a diplomatic line, insisted on the need to respect international treaties, thus highlighting the urgency of an international response to this crisis.
