IGAD Condemns Attack on UAE Ambassador’s Residence in Khartoum

Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya- The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has condemned the reported attacks on the residence of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ambassador in Khartoum, labeling the act as a violation of international law and a setback to diplomatic relations in the region.

In a statement, IGAD’s Executive Secretary, Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu, expressed deep concern over the incident, emphasizing that such actions contravene the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which mandates the protection of diplomatic missions and personnel.

 “The attack undermines peaceful diplomacy and the mutual respect necessary for international cooperation,” Gebeyehu stated, stressing the critical role embassies play in fostering peaceful international relations.

Dr. Gebeyehu also highlighted the responsibility of all parties involved in the ongoing conflict to safeguard diplomatic premises and missions, warning that such incidents could further erode trust and cooperation between nations.

Beyond the attacks on diplomatic missions, IGAD raised alarm over the broader escalation of violence in Sudan, where civilians, aid workers, and critical infrastructure have been severely affected by the conflict. 

The violence has not only disrupted daily life but also worsened a growing humanitarian crisis in the country.

“The situation demands urgent attention from the international community,” Dr. Gebeyehu said, calling on all parties to uphold international humanitarian law. 

He urged the conflicting groups to prioritize a peaceful settlement and move toward a permanent ceasefire, reminding them that ongoing hostilities continue to violate basic humanitarian principles and put innocent lives at risk.

Dr. Gebeyehu concluded his statement with a strong call for peace, urging the warring factions to adhere to their commitments under international humanitarian law. 

He stressed the need to prioritize the protection of civilians, especially vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly, who remain disproportionately affected by the violence.

“The fighting must stop. The suffering of civilians is unconscionable, and all parties must act now to silence the guns and protect those caught in the crossfire,” Gebeyehu added.
