In brief
The Arab League, through a statement from its general secretariat in Cairo, condemned the Rapid Support Forces’ UAV attacks on Sudan’s energy sector, describing them as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime. It cited extensive damage, power outages, and civilian suffering, and reaffirmed support for Sudan’s unity and sovereignty while recalling Council Resolution 9246. The statement urges accountability for the attackers and underscores the League’s categorical rejection of any aggression against civilian infrastructure.
The Arab League issued a stern condemnation of the Rapid Support Forces’ repeated UAV attacks on Sudan’s energy infrastructure, labeling the strikes a war crime and a deliberate violation of international humanitarian law.
In a statement released in Cairo on November 2, the General Secretariat warned that the targeting of power stations and other civilian facilities not only inflicted extensive damage but also forced several plants out of service, causing widespread power outages across the states of Khartoum, Al‑Jazirah, Sennar, Gedaref, River Nile, and Red Sea.
Saudi Press Agency reported that the attacks exacerbated the suffering of civilians by depriving them of essential services and that the League’s remarks represented a categorical rejection of all attacks on civilian and public service facilities.
The League reaffirmed its steadfast support for the Republic of Sudan, emphasizing the preservation of its unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity, national institutions, and the protection of its people’s resources and infrastructure.
Saudi Press Agency noted that the statement recalled Arab League Council Resolution No. 9246, issued on May 11, which had condemned the attacks on infrastructure and civilian facilities in Sudan and the resulting loss of life and property damage.
In summary, the Arab League demands accountability and prosecution for those responsible, while reaffirming that any intentional targeting of civilians and their infrastructure is a war crime warranting immediate response.
