US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield has called on all countries, including the UAE, to stop supporting Sudan’s warring parties.

“As I said before, history repeats itself in Darfur in the worst possible way,” Greenfield told reporters, adding that El Fasher was “on the brink of a large-scale massacre.”

For his part, the UAE ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammed Abu Shehab, stressed in a letter to the Security Council that his country “does not provide any weapons or ammunition to any faction in Sudan.”

Abu Shehab stressed that the UAE “categorically rejects any suggestion that it has provided financial, logistical or military assistance or diplomatic support to any armed group in Sudan”.

El Fasher is the last major city in Sudan’s vast Darfur region not under the control of the RSF, who are accused of involvement in ethnically motivated killings of non-Arab groups and other abuses in West Darfur.

Sudan is locked in a devastating war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has so far killed 15,000 Sudanese and displaced more than 8 million others, according to the United Nations and Sudanese organizations.
