The United Arab Emirates has called for a ceasefire in Sudan during the holy month of Ramadan, urging warring factions to embrace peace. General Abdel Fattah al Burhan-controlled army swiftly dismissed the appeal, accusing the UAE of fueling the war by arming Rapid Support Forces (RSF). International observers, including U.N. experts and U.S. lawmakers, have found these accusations credible, but the UAE has denied any involvement. Sudan’s conflict has spiraled into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with 12 million displaced, widespread hunger, and a country teetering on fragmentation. “As we approach Ramadan, a time of mercy and compassion, the UAE calls on all parties to honor this sacred period with a ceasefire,” a UAE official stated. The Burhan’s army, however, remains firm in its position, refusing any truce unless RSF forces lift sieges on besieged cities and territories. The RSF is currently launching an offensive on al-Fashir, the army’s last stronghold in Darfur, while losing ground in the capital, Khartoum. The paramilitary group has yet to respond to the UAE’s ceasefire call or its broader diplomatic efforts. Alongside its ceasefire proposal, the UAE plans to co-host a humanitarian summit on Friday in Addis Ababa, partnering with the African Union to secure aid for Sudan. The UAE has pledged $200 million in humanitarian assistance, but Sudan’s government rejected the summit, calling it a “crime” against its sovereignty. Burhan’s army has sought to distort the role of the UAE by falsifying facts, the UAE official countered. Despite tensions, the UAE maintains its focus on diplomacy, insisting its primary goal is to foster stability in the war-torn nation.
