The Emirates called for an "unconditional and immediate ceasefire" to end the civil war. Reem said the UAE remains "gravely concerned" by the conduct of both warring parties.

Their escalating military actions and continued refusal to facilitate humanitarian access "are driving Sudan further into collapse", she added. UAE also welcomed US President Donald Trump's efforts to prevent Sudan from "sliding further into extremism, fragmentation and humanitarian catastrophe".

The minister called for a "credible path" for a united Sudan, with a unified regional and international effort to end atrocities against civilians.
