Sudan cuts ties with UAE after paramilitary drone strikes on Port Sudan

On May 6, Sudan's army-aligned government cut diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates following a series of drone attacks targeting Port Sudan's port and airport.
The government accused the UAE of supplying weapons to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which it blames for the drone strikes targeting key infrastructure.
The attacks marked the third consecutive day of strikes on Port Sudan, hitting fuel depots, power stations, and the civilian airport that serves as a humanitarian lifeline.
Sudan's military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan promised that justice will be served for the attacks, while UN representatives cautioned that the recent strikes are intensifying the world’s most severe humanitarian emergency.
The diplomatic break escalates tensions, signaling potential military responses and complicating relief efforts in a conflict that has displaced millions and killed tens of thousands since 2023.
