Sudan has called for an emergency meeting at the United Nations Security Council meeting against the UAE's alleged interference in the crisis and its support for paramilitaries fighting the army, AFP reported on Saturday citing a diplomatic source.

"Yesterday, our permanent representative to the United Nations [Al-Harith Idriss] submitted a request for an urgent session of the Security Council to discuss the UAE's aggression against the Sudanese people, and the provision of weapons and equipment to the terrorist militia," the source told AFP.

State-owned news outlet SUNA relayed, citing Idriss, that the request came as a response to the UAE's memorandum at the Security Council, adding that "the UAE's support for the criminal Rapid Support militia that waged war on the state makes the UAE an accomplice in all its crimes" -- an accusation which the UAE previously denied in a Security Council meeting last week. 

The fighting in Sudan broke out in April last year between the regular army, headed by its leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

Amid a pending RSF attack against the city of al-Fasher in North Darfur, which threatens the lives of thousands of sheltering people, the Security Council expressed "deep concern" and called on Saturday for the de-escalation of the crisis and hostilities to curb the worsening humanitarian crisis. 

The Security Council urged all member states to avoid external intervention in the conflict and encouraged them to back initiatives that would achieve enduring peace. Additionally, it reiterated the existence of an arms embargo on Sudan since 2004 to all relevant parties.

Arab Parties Conference slams US, 'Israel', UAE interference in Sudan

On Wednesday, the General Conference of Arab Parties affirmed its support for Sudan and its people in their "defense of the independence, sovereignty, and unity of Sudan."

The Conference condemned external interference by the United States, Britain, France, Germany, "Israel," the United Arab Emirates, and Chad, warning against the dangers posed by their involvement in the ongoing war in the African country.

It also expressed deep concern over the deteriorating situation in Sudan since the outbreak of the "West and Zionism's war of colonization, domination, and settlement in mid-April 2023," adding that "this war has destabilized Sudan, inflicted significant damage to its unity, destroyed its basic infrastructure, undermined its economic capabilities, and left its citizens displaced, refugees, dead, or missing."

Meanwhile, the organization praised the role of the "Sudanese army and popular resistance in confronting this foreign invasion."

It called for "forming a broader and stronger advocacy front for Sudan at the Arab, regional, and international levels to support the country, its people, its army, and its popular resistance, to the extent that enhances the capability of the Sudanese state to respond to aggression, restore stability, impose security, and preserve Sudan's unity in terms of its land, people, sovereignty, independence, and identity."

It also indicated that "the Arab League is required to play its national role in standing by Sudan and supporting it in this critical juncture in its history."
