How the Sudanese army reached a breaking point with the Emirates
Entering the third year of a brutal civil war involving numerous foreign actors, Sudan reached a breaking point with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accused of arming and financing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This week, Khartoum took its most decisive action in this regard, having already expelled 15 Emirati diplomats in December 2023, a few months after the war began. On Tuesday, May 6, the Sudanese Sovereignty Council announced it was breaking diplomatic relations with Abu Dhabi, citing the Emiratis' "direct support" to paramilitary forces and labeling the country as an "aggressor state." This decision came just one day after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declared itself incompetent to hear Sudan's complaint against the United Arab Emirates for complicity in genocide against the Masalit...

Sisi, Burhan Discuss Nile Water Security, Post-War Reconstruction in Sudan
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi held high-level talks in Cairo on Monday with Sudanese Sovereignty Council Chairman General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, focusing on regional water security and Egypt's role in rebuilding war-torn Sudan. The meeting, held at Al-Ittihadiya Palace, underscored Egypt's commitment to supporting Sudan amid its ongoing internal conflict, which has ravaged the country since April 2023. Sisi reaffirmed his country's readiness to contribute to reconstruction efforts and help restore infrastructure destroyed by the civil war. In a joint statement, the two leaders emphasized their continued coordination to preserve the water security of both nations and rejected unilateral measures concerning the Nile River. Egyptian presidential spokesperson Mohamed al-Shennawy said the talks also covered broader regional issues, particularly developments in the Nile Basin and the Horn of Africa. 'There is complete alignment between Egypt and Sudan on the strategic importance of shared water resources and the need for regional stability,' al-Shennawy said. The two sides reiterated their opposition to unilateral actions related to the Blue Nile—Ethiopia's main tributary for the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Egypt and Sudan have long called for a binding legal agreement with Ethiopia on the dam's operation to safeguard their downstream water rights. Al-Burhan's visit came at the invitation of Sisi and follows a series of diplomatic contacts aimed at bolstering bilateral cooperation. Sisi personally welcomed the Sudanese leader at Cairo Airport before accompanying him to the palace for official reception ceremonies. Talks included the recent battlefield developments in Sudan, where the Sudanese Armed Forces have reportedly regained control of the capital, Khartoum. Both leaders discussed coordinating efforts to support civilians in conflict zones and advance political and economic integration between the two countries. In expanded discussions involving ministers and senior officials from both sides, Egypt and Sudan agreed to accelerate joint projects in key sectors such as electricity interconnection, rail infrastructure, trade, agriculture, health, industry, mining, and cultural exchange. Sudan has been mired in civil war since mid-2023, pitting the national army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has displaced over 14 million people, with more than 1.2 million seeking refuge in Egypt, according to UN figures. Sisi has consistently called for a ceasefire and stressed the importance of maintaining Sudan's territorial integrity and institutional stability. He recently condemned plans by the RSF to announce a parallel government in areas under its control, calling the move a direct threat to Sudan's unity and sovereignty. Sudanese Ambassador to Cairo Imad-Eddin Adawi hailed the summit as a testament to the 'depth and resilience' of Egyptian-Sudanese ties. 'There is a shared political will to move forward together,' he said, adding that Egypt plays a pivotal role in mediating regional stability and facilitating dialogue among Sudanese factions. Hossam Issa, Egypt's former assistant foreign minister for Sudan, described al-Burhan's visit as a 'milestone' in efforts to end the conflict. 'The recent military gains on the ground could pave the way for restoring governance in Khartoum and beginning the process of reconstruction,' he told Asharq Al-Awsat.
