Sudan’s leadership has initiated proceedings against the UAE at the ICJ, claiming the latter’s provision of arms to the RSF has prolonged conflict. The UAE has refuted the allegations, suggesting they are merely a publicity stunt. Hussein Shingrai, a Sudanese political leader, insists that evidence exists to support Sudan’s claims against the UAE and its involvement in the conflict.
Sudan’s military-led government has asserted its right to file a lawsuit against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for allegedly providing arms and support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Hussein Shingrai, the foreign affairs secretary of the People’s Democratic Party of Sudan, indicated that the ongoing conflict could have been resolved much earlier had it not been for this foreign assistance.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has confirmed that Sudan’s legal action accuses the UAE of breaching the genocide convention through its alleged arming and funding of the RSF. In response, the UAE has characterized the lawsuit as a mere publicity stunt, dismissing the allegations as unfounded.
Shingrai expressed to VOA’s James Butty that there exists substantive evidence linking the UAE to the militarization of the RSF, emphasizing the serious nature of these accusations. The unfolding legal process marks a significant development in international relations and the ongoing struggles within Sudan.
In conclusion, Sudan’s military-led government is pursuing legal action against the UAE at the International Court of Justice, attributing the prolongation of the conflict to alleged support for the RSF. This case, which the UAE has dismissed as a publicity stunt, underscores the complexities of international accountability and intervention in domestic conflicts.
