Sudan defends taking UAE to ICJ for allegedly arming RSF

A Sudanese political leader says the country's military-led government has every right to sue the United Arab Emirates for supplying weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Hussein Shingrai, the foreign affairs secretary of the People’s Democratic Party of Sudan, says the war would have ended long ago without that support. The International Court of Justice announced Thursday that Sudan accused the UAE of violating the genocide convention by arming and funding the rebel RSF. The Associated Press reports that UAE has described the case as nothing more than a cynical publicity stunt. Shingrai tells VOA’s James Butty, Sudan has the evidence to support its court case.
