Sudan demands UAE halt interference, support for RSF

November 25, 2025 (PORT SUDAN) – Sudan called on the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday to stop interfering in its internal affairs and to end its support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighting the army, state news agency SUNA reported.

Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Muawiya Osman Khalid stated that the UAE must cease backing the “terrorist militia” used to kill civilians and destroy the country’s infrastructure.

The statement followed a call by the UAE on Monday for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire in Sudan. The UAE also condemned recent remarks by Sudan’s Sovereign Council head, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, rejecting a peace proposal put forward by the Quad group of nations.

“The UAE, by continuing to wage a comprehensive war of aggression against Sudan, cannot be a trusted party in any effort to forge peace and stability,” Khalid said, according to SUNA.

Khalid emphasized the government’s desire for a just peace that preserves Sudan’s sovereignty, as outlined in al-Burhan’s recent address to military leaders.

On Sunday, al-Burhan told army commanders that a proposal presented by the Quad—comprising the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE—was “the worst paper ever presented.”

He said the proposal, delivered by U.S. presidential advisor Massad Boulos, effectively called for the elimination of the armed forces and the dissolution of security agencies while leaving the “rebel militia” in place.

Khalid said the government remained open to serious initiatives to end the war, which he blamed on the “terrorist Daglo family militia” supported by the UAE.

He reiterated Sudan’s support for efforts by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to achieve peace, praising a proposal the Crown Prince discussed recently with U.S. President Donald Trump.
