Gargash reaffirmed that the UAE has consistently sought a political solution to the crisis.
Adding that Sudan’s complaint to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is baseless and politically motivated.
Mentioning that the UAE respects the ICJ but views the complaint as part of a broader misinformation campaign.

Sudan Military’s Role in the Crisis

According to international reports, including those from UN agencies, human rights organizations, and the U.S. government, the Sudanese Armed Forces have been responsible for:

  • War crimes
  • Indiscriminate attacks on civilians
  • Use of chemical weapons
  • Sexual violence

Gargash emphasized the UAE’s belief in accountability for atrocities committed by all parties.
