Sudanese Government: UK Covers Up UAE’s Involvement in Supporting the Terrorist Militia
Geneva – Sudanese Echoes
Sudan’s Permanent Representative in Geneva, Hassan Hamid, delivered a concluding statement today at the end of the session adopting the British-led resolution to renew the mandate of the Fact-Finding Mission.
In his remarks, he expressed Sudan’s gratitude to all countries that voted with Sudan against the British resolution, noting that they voted in defense of the United Nations Charter and its established principles regarding state sovereignty and respect for national decisions, as well as the principles enshrined in the resolution that established the Human Rights Council.
The Permanent Representative questioned the real purpose behind the adoption of this resolution, saying: “If the objective is truly to promote human rights and achieve justice, does this mean that the existing human rights mechanisms in Sudan—namely, the country office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the designated expert—have now become ineffective and irrelevant?”
He added that if the answer is no, then mandating an additional mechanism of three individuals through a resolution that equates the armed forces with the rebel militia clearly shows that the real intent is political blackmail and pressure on Sudan—especially after the recent victories of the Sudanese Armed Forces over the terrorist militia.
The Permanent Representative further asked: “How can a resolution deliberately avoid even mentioning by name the state that sponsors the rebel militia and provides it with weapons, military equipment, and mercenaries? How can such a resolution contribute to ending the conflict, protecting civilians, or promoting human rights?”
He went on to say: “Did the sponsors of this resolution not read the dozens of evidence-based reports that proved the United Arab Emirates’ involvement in supporting the terrorist militia? Why, then, does the resolution remain silent about this fact? Clearly, the sponsors of the resolution are protecting the state that backs the terrorist militia.”
He concluded by reaffirming that the Government of Sudan remains fully committed to its responsibilities toward its people, stressing that human rights are a national priority for Sudan—not an external mandate imposed through resolutions. He also emphasized that the Sudanese Armed Forces, which the sponsors of the resolution attempted to equate with the rebel militia, will continue to fulfill their constitutional duty, supported by the Sudanese people in all their diversity.
