Sudan recalls top envoy, accusing Ethiopia and UAE of directing drone attacks on airport
Sudan has recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia for "consultations" following a series of drone attacks targeting critical infrastructure, including Khartoum International Airport. Sudanese officials formally accused Ethiopia of launching the strikes from its territory with technical and material support from the United Arab Emirates, describing the assault as "direct aggression."
Sudanese military officials claim to have "conclusive evidence" and "confirmed information" linking recent aerial assaults to Ethiopian airbases. Brig. Gen. Asim Awad Abdelwahab, an army spokesperson, stated that the government analysed data from a drone intercepted on March 17 and found it originated from the UAE and took off from Ethiopia. Ethiopia denies the claims, characterising them as "baseless accusations," and accuses Sudan's army of supporting "mercenaries" from the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). A UAE official dismissed the "unfounded accusations and deliberate propaganda" as "part of a calculated pattern of deflection - shifting blame to others to evade responsibility for their own actions."
The authorities were forced to announce a 72-hour suspension of operations at Khartoum International Airport. The African Union (AU) has moved to activate high-level mediation to prevent a full-scale interstate war. The AU has called for an immediate "humanitarian truce" to address a crisis where over 150,000 people have died, and 12 million have fled their homes.
