The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement issued on Tuesday, affirmed Qatar’s categorical rejection for targeting civilian infrastructure and vital facilities, and reiterated its full support for the unity, sovereignty, and stability of Sudan.
The Muslim World League strongly condemned the attack targeting Khartoum Airport. A statement issued by the League’s General Secretariat said that the Secretary-General, Chairman of the Council of Muslim Scholars, His Eminence Sheikh Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, reiterated the League’s full solidarity with the Republic of Sudan against all threats to its security, stability, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and legitimate institutions. He stressed the urgent need for an immediate cessation of these violations and adherence to the provisions of the Jeddah Declaration and relevant international laws concerning the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and sparing the Sudanese people and their resources the repercussions of war.
In Cairo, the Arab League condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the targeting of Khartoum Airport by drones launched from bases outside Sudanese territory.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the League’s Secretary-General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, expressed his strongest condemnation of the attack on Khartoum International Airport using drones. The Secretary-General stressed that targeting civilian facilities and vital infrastructure, this time from bases outside Sudanese territory, constitutes a dangerous escalation and a threat to regional peace and security, exacerbating the humanitarian and security situation in Sudan.

The Secretary-General also warned that such actions, regardless of their source, aim to broaden the scope of the conflict and undermine Arab, African, and international efforts to de-escalate tensions and create the conditions for an inclusive Sudanese civil dialogue that preserves Sudan’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, and fulfills the aspirations of its people for security, peace, and stability.
