Sudan declares UAE an aggressor, cuts ties amid rising tensions
Published May 6th, 2025 - 07:10 GMT The announcement came just an hour after a video was released from Port Sudan showing the Chairman of Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, standing before a backdrop of flames, vowing that 'the hour of retribution will come.'
ALBAWABA- In a dramatic shift, Sudan has severed diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates and formally designated it an 'aggressive state,' accusing Abu Dhabi of undermining Sudanese sovereignty.
The decision was announced by the Security and Defense Council, which also invoked Article 51 of the UN Charter to affirm Sudan's right to defend itself by all means necessary.
The announcement came just an hour after a video was released from Port Sudan showing the Chairman of Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, standing before a backdrop of flames, vowing that 'the hour of retribution will come.'
Sudan's government has ordered the closure of its embassy and consulate in the UAE and emphasized that the move aligns with the demands of the Sudanese people.
Information Minister Khaled Al-Aiser stated that Sudan had long acted with restraint out of respect for historic ties, but the UAE ignored these considerations, appearing to act on behalf of foreign interests.

Al-Aiser dismissed reports of an ongoing Emirati diplomatic presence in Port Sudan as misinformation, stating there has been no such activity since the UAE ambassador's infiltration incident over a year ago.
He also noted that Sky News Arabia has not operated in Sudan for more than 18 months and accused disinformation networks of fueling false narratives to serve militia agendas.
Sudan, he clarified, only maintained a limited consular presence in the UAE to assist Sudanese nationals.

Egyptian restaurant angers Israelis with 'Rocket Koshary' dish
ALBAWABA - A photo posted by the famous Egyptian restaurant "Abu Tarek Koshary" on Facebook has rapidly become virally shared. The photo depicts a rocket-shaped plate of koshary, designed using an artificial intelligence (AI) program, and published under the title "Coming Soon to Markets." It caused a huge buzz among social media users. The 'Rocket Koshary' dish has not only become a trend among Arabs online, but many Israelis reacted with anger over the dish. Roi Kais, an Israeli journalist specializing in Arab affairs and an analyst for the Hebrew Channel 11 TV, commented on his official X account earlier, "It seems that Abu Tariq Restaurant, which serves Cairo's beloved koshary, has entered the midst of the war between Israel and Iran." It is worth noting that Koshary Abu Tarek's Facebook page deleted the image of the 'Rocket Koshary'; however, it is still gaining widespread interaction. A number of politicians and Israelis also commented on journalist Roi Kais's X post, and a former Israeli ambassador to Egypt wrote that the Egyptian restaurant is popular and beloved by Egyptians. يتضح أنه بعد التغريدة، قامت صفحة كشري "أبو طارق" في القاهرة على فيسبوك بحذف المنشور الذي كان يروّج لطبق جديد على شكل "صاروخ".وسائل إعلام مصرية ذكرت أن القرار جاء بعد تقارير عن "غضب في إسرائيل" نعم، الأمر حقيقي بالفعل!@kaisos1987

'We Killed Him': Who did Iran eliminate - and why Is Israel hiding his identity?
ALBAWABA - On social media, a mysterious post made by the official "Iran in Arabic" accounts on Facebook and X has sparked a lot of conjecture. The statement was sent in the early hours of Monday in response to Iran's missile strikes on Tel Aviv, but it did not identify the target. It simply said, "Allahu Akbar.. We killed him." Thousands of users questioned whether the tweet was a reference to a high-profile assassination, sparking a flurry of replies. Given their involvement in the ongoing battle in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir soon came under scrutiny. Many users believed the mysterious remark was a reference to Ben-Gvir, who is known for his radical language and incitement to escalate the conflict, or Netanyahu, whom they called a "war criminal." During a severe information blackout enforced by Israeli authorities, a security source apparently told "Iran in Arabic" that a senior Israeli security figure had been slain in southern Israel, while the message remained purposefully ambiguous. الله اكبر .. لقد قتلناه.! — الاحداث الايرانية (@amar_teCh088) June 16, 2025 As the globe waits for official confirmation or denial, dozens of amusing and speculative comments swamped the initial article, with people confessing that the suspense was "killing them."
