Sudan has accused Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of involvement in a series of recent drone attacks, escalating tensions in an already volatile region.
On Tuesday, Sudan’s government announced it had recalled its ambassador from Ethiopia, alleging that attacks targeting Khartoum International Airport originated from Ethiopian territory using drones supplied by the UAE. The strikes reportedly forced the airport to suspend operations for three days.
Sudanese military officials claim that at least four drone attacks have been launched from across the Ethiopian border since early March. They argue that external support has intensified the ongoing conflict, which has devastated much of the country.
Ethiopia has firmly rejected the accusations, describing them as unfounded. Its Foreign Ministry countered by accusing Sudan of backing rebel groups in the Tigray region, further deepening diplomatic friction between the two neighbours.
Meanwhile, the UAE has not issued a new response to the latest allegations but has consistently denied claims that it is supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group fighting Sudan’s army.
The renewed violence comes just days after Khartoum International Airport resumed limited operations following a period of relative calm. That progress has now been disrupted by the latest wave of drone strikes.
Sudan’s conflict, which began in April 2023 amid a power struggle between the army and the RSF, has led to widespread devastation. According to the United Nations, more than 150,000 people have been killed and approximately 14 million displaced, making it one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises.
Analysts warn that Sudan’s accusations against Ethiopia could mark a dangerous turning point, raising the risk of broader regional involvement. Growing mistrust between neighbouring states and continued foreign interference threaten to further destabilise the Horn of Africa.
