International condemnation continued to pour in following the bombing of Khartoum International Airport

International condemnation continued to pour in following the bombing of Khartoum International Airport, amid renewed calls to end the four-year-long conflict in Sudan, which has recently escalated with a surge in drone attacks. The latest attacks targeted Khartoum Airport and surrounding areas, as well as the Signal Corps base in Khartoum North and the Al-Murkhiyat camp in Omdurman, in addition to sites in the states of Al-Qadarif, Al-Jazirah, and White Nile. While the full identity of those responsible remains unclear, accusations have been exchanged regarding the involvement of external parties. Britain, through its embassy in Sudan, condemned this escalation, expressing its concern over the targeting of civilian infrastructure and calling for a halt to the attacks and the protection of humanitarian aid delivery routes. It also emphasized the importance of reaching a civilian-led ceasefire and settlement. The British position complemented condemnations from the United States, the European Union, and Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt. For its part, the Sudanese authorities accused the drones that carried out the bombing of launching from Bahir Dar Airport in Ethiopia, with Emirati support. Addis Ababa denied the allegations, while the Sudanese government confirmed it would add further evidence to its complaint to the UN Security Council. US Presidential Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, issued a statement condemning the attacks attributed to the Rapid Support Forces. He emphasized that targeting airports and infrastructure threatens to disrupt humanitarian relief efforts and exacerbates the suffering of the Sudanese people. He also stressed that any external support for the warring parties prolongs the suffering and deepens the crisis. Meanwhile, the head of the European Union delegation to Sudan, Wolfram Vetter, called for an immediate halt to the escalating violence and urged external parties to refrain from fueling the conflict and to work towards promoting stability. He called for negotiations to achieve a humanitarian truce and a transition to a civilian government through inclusive dialogue. On the other hand, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack, considering it a violation of Sudanese sovereignty and a breach of international law. Doha reiterated the importance of resolving the conflict peacefully and through dialogue. The same position was expressed by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which affirmed its support for the unity and stability of Sudan and stressed its commitment to protecting civilians and vital infrastructure. With the conflict in Sudan continuing, foreign interventions escalating, and accusations being leveled by local and international actors, the region remains volatile, requiring urgent action to halt the conflict and achieve stability.
