The International Court of Justice is conducting a case where Sudan blames the United Arab Emirates for supporting genocide forces that fight in the Sudanese civil war. Several reports indicate the UAE sent weapons to the Rapid Support Forces to harm the non-Arab Massalit people of West Darfur. The UAE denies all accusations because officials view the case as a political attempt to hide Sudan’s responsibility for moving 12 million people from their homes over two years.
Politically Motivated Claims Without Evidence
Sudan’s claims against the UAE serve political purposes while remaining unproven. On Thursday UAE lawyers showed why the case needs to stop because their legal paperwork blocks their involvement in these cases. Because the UAE created a legal restriction the ICJ must decline to take up cases against the UAE.
During his court testimony, Ameirah Alhefeiti affirmed that Sudan pursues these legal proceedings only to attack the UAE in public. According to UAE officials, the military-led government of Sudan attempts to utilize the court to place diverse blame aspects away from its participation in Sudan’s civil conflict since April 2022.
UAE’s Humanitarian Support for Sudan
The UAE maintains its commitment to helping the Sudanese people with substantial humanitarian programs. During his testimony, Ambassador Alhefeiti showed that the UAE puts in effort to reduce suffering by creating medical treatment sites. The UAE continues its usual method of giving aid to nations in emergencies.
The UAE rejects supplying weapons to both the RSF and the Sudanese army, which forms the main argument in Sudan’s case. The UAE behaves as an assistive organization working to eliminate the human suffering caused by the fighting. The UAE takes this approach because it supports stability in the region and gives vital help to those who need it, even when conflicts exist. The worldwide community tends not to accept the political attacks against the UAE, given its proven reputation for fighting crises.
