Sudan Accuses Ethiopia and UAE of Drone Attacks, Disrupting Khartoum Calm
Sudan has accused Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of orchestrating recent drone attacks on Khartoum International Airport, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions. The Sudanese government claims that the drones were launched from Ethiopia with UAE-supplied equipment, leading to a temporary suspension of airport operations. This accusation comes amid a fragile period of calm in Khartoum, following the Sudanese military's recapture of the city from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) last year. Ethiopia has dismissed these allegations as baseless, while the UAE has not yet commented. The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023 due to a power struggle between the army and the RSF, has resulted in significant humanitarian crises, with millions displaced and thousands killed.
