**Deck**: Sudan’s representative to the U.N. General Assembly branded the United Arab Emirates a “country of evil,” accusing it of worsening the war by backing the Rapid Support Forces, while Sudan’s foreign minister urged an end to external interference and criticised the U.S. for denying a visa to army chief Abdel‑Fattah Burhan.

Sudan has used the U.N. General Assembly to launch a direct public attack on the United Arab Emirates over its alleged role in Sudan’s war.

Sudan’s representative at the General Assembly called the UAE a “country of evil,” accusing it of worsening the conflict by supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). He said the UAE’s claim to be neutral and innocent would not cover what he described as “crimes and atrocities,” and characterised Abu Dhabi as being in a “bloodied partnership” with the RSF.

He added that when Sudan remains silent, it eventually feels compelled to speak out against the UAE, and urged Abu Dhabi to focus on its own political system. In another remark, he said that among the countries worsening the conflict, “at the head of them is the country of evil, the UAE.”

Sudan’s leadership is trying to frame the war as one fuelled by outside arms, money and fighters. In a separate speech, Sudanese Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salim Ahmed Ibrahim told the General Assembly that comprehensive and lasting peace in Sudan cannot be achieved without ending external interference, stopping the flow of weapons, ammunition and mercenaries, and dismantling these networks.

The same foreign minister criticised the United States for failing to issue a visa to Army Chief Gen. Abdel‑Fattah Burhan for the high‑level U.N. session. People familiar with the matter have linked Washington’s decision to disagreements over Sudan’s conflict.

For civilians inside Sudan, more external support for armed groups means more sustained fighting and damage to homes, markets and services. The Sudanese government’s focus on “external interference” reflects the impact that foreign‑supplied arms and funding can have on the duration and intensity of the war.

The accusations against the UAE are particularly sensitive because of its role as a major regional financial and logistics hub. Being labelled a “country of evil” in a U.N. speech threatens reputational costs for a state that invests heavily in its image.

The visa dispute with Washington adds another layer, showing that Sudan’s military‑aligned authorities are at odds not only with regional states they accuse of backing the RSF but also with the United States over the handling of the conflict.

Developments to watch include any formal moves by Sudan to push for U.N. scrutiny of alleged external support to the RSF, the UAE’s response in its own public statements, and whether other regional or international actors adjust their stance on Sudan in light of these sharp accusations.
