Sudan: Ethiopia has not been deterred and has continued its aggression, and its behavior has become dangerous

On Wednesday, Undersecretary of the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Muawiya Osman Khalid, accused Ethiopia of "continuing its aggression" against Sudan, stating that it has not been deterred and that its behavior has become dangerous.

This came during a seminar organized by the Sudan News Agency at its headquarters in Khartoum regarding "Ethiopia's support for the terrorist militia with drones and their launch from Ethiopian territory," according to the official agency.

Khalid said: "Sudan reserves its right to protection and its right to inform the international community."

He emphasized that international justice institutions are required to take a step forward to stop this aggression, according to the same source.

Khalid added that "Ethiopia has not been deterred and has continued its aggression against Sudan, and its behavior has become dangerous."

The agency reported that the Sudanese Foreign Ministry Undersecretary called on the international community not to overlook what he termed the "Ethiopian-Emirati aggression" on Sudanese territory.

He pointed out that Sudan maintains good relations with the Ethiopian people, adding: "However, the Ethiopian government has not taken this into account and continues its attacks on the Sudanese people with drones," according to his statement.

Khalid said that "the strategic goal of the Sudanese components is to defeat the terrorist militia (referring to the Rapid Support Forces), which is supported by countries in the region and other countries behind them."

He stressed the ability of the relevant Sudanese institutions to protect the country, and that Sudan will continue its efforts to protect itself on one hand and inform the international community on the other.

These developments follow drone attacks that targeted, on Wednesday, 6 power stations in Khartoum, Al-Jazirah, Sennar, and Al-Qadarif.

The Sudanese government accuses Ethiopia of supporting the Rapid Support Forces and that the drones are launched from its territory, while Ethiopia denies these accusations and says it respects Sudan's sovereignty over its lands.

Khartoum has previously accused Abu Dhabi of providing military support to the Rapid Support Forces, accusations that the UAE has repeatedly denied.

In May 2026, the Sudanese government announced the severing of diplomatic relations with the UAE and recalled its ambassador to Addis Ababa for consultations, after Khartoum accused both countries of involvement in a drone attack on Khartoum Airport, which they both denied.

Since April 2023, the "Rapid Support Forces" have been fighting the Sudanese army due to a dispute over the transitional phase, which has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Sudanese and the displacement of about 13 million people.
