The Sudanese Armed Forces denied on Monday the United Arab Emirates' accusations that a Sundanese warplane hit the residence of its ambassador in Khartoum and blamed the strike on the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The Sudanese army added that the armed forces do not engage in such "cowardly" actions or violate international law. Instead, they only target locations where the militia is present, exercising their right to defend the nation. The military reiterated accusations that the rebel RSF force was receiving assistance from abroad. Sudan has repeatedly accused the UAE of supporting the RSF financially and supplying weapons to the force. In April 2023, clashes broke out between the Sudanese regular army and the RSF. The parties have since agreed to a number of temporary nationwide ceasefires, but none have lasted. The International Committee of the Red Cross warned that the fighting could lead to disease outbreaks and the collapse of the national health care system.

Sudanese Army Denies Striking UAE Ambassador's Residence in Khartoum
18:30 30.09.2024 (Updated: 18:41 30.09.2024) CAIRO (Sputnik) - The Sudanese Armed Forces launched a large-scale offensive against RSF positions in Khartoum last week. The UAE said on Sunday that its top diplomat's residence in the Sudanese capital was targeted by a Sudanese military aircraft and demanded that the army assume full responsibility for this "cowardly act."
The Sudanese Armed Forces denied on Monday the United Arab Emirates'
accusations that a Sundanese warplane hit the residence of its ambassador in Khartoum and blamed the strike on the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
"The Sudanese armed forces condemns and denies the accusation by the United Arab Emirates of bombing the residence of its ambassador in Khartoum, and asserts that it does not target the headquarters of diplomatic missions," the army wrote on social media.
The Sudanese army added that the armed forces do not engage in such "cowardly" actions or
violate international law. Instead, they only target locations where the militia is present, exercising their right to defend the nation.
The military reiterated accusations that the rebel RSF force was receiving assistance from abroad.
Sudan has repeatedly accused the UAE of supporting the RSF financially and supplying weapons to the force.
"The one that carries out these heinous and cowardly actions is the terrorist, rebel Dalgo militia supported in committing all this by a country known to the world. And it continues to carry out these acts under the eyes and ears of countries and international organizations," the army said.
In April 2023, clashes broke out between the Sudanese regular army and the RSF. The parties have since agreed to a number of temporary nationwide ceasefires, but none have lasted. The International Committee of the Red Cross warned that the fighting could lead to disease outbreaks and the collapse of the national health care system.
