Sudan has accused both Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of being behind the recent drone attacks on Khartoum International Airport. The attacks reportedly targeted the airport’s radar system, causing disruptions to several flights.
The Sudanese government claims that the drones used in the attack came from the Ethiopian border, pointing to the involvement of Ethiopian forces. Sudan also alleges that the UAE provided logistical and technical support for the drone operation.
Ethiopia has denied any involvement in the attacks, stating that it respects the sovereignty of Sudan and has no interest in destabilizing the region. The UAE has not yet responded to these accusations.
Sudanese officials have suggested that the drone attacks may be related to the recent tensions between Sudan and Ethiopia over a border dispute and the construction of a dam on the Blue Nile.
The situation is concerning for the region, as any escalation could further strain the already fragile relations between these neighboring countries.
