Saudi Arabia criticizes foreign interference in Sudan following RSF attacks.

Saudi Arabia has condemned the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for their “criminal attacks” in North and South Kordofan states in Sudan, blaming foreign fighters and weapons for fueling the ongoing three-year conflict. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the influx of illegal weapons and mercenaries, demanding that the RSF cease their violations of humanitarian norms. The statement also hinted at foreign interference in Sudan without specifying the parties involved, while highlighting the need for adherence to international humanitarian law and a ceasefire agreement from 2023. Additionally, allegations against the United Arab Emirates for arming and funding the RSF in Sudan and backing the separatist Southern Transitional Council in Yemen have further complicated the regional dynamics.
