Al-Atta Renews Attacks UAE, Vows to Defeat the Militia
Khartoum – Sudanhorizon
Gen.Yasser Al-Atta, the member of the Sovereign Council and the Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces, has leveled new accusations against the United Arab Emirates, charging it of supporting and funding the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
Lieutenant General Al-Atta further accused the UAE of planning to make Sudan a hub for conflict in Africa, thereby facilitating the acquisition of the country’s resources. He vowed to defeat the Janjaweed and expel them from the Darfur and Kordofan states.
Sudan accuses the UAE of funding the militia, which has been fiercely fighting the army for over two years. Sudan has not hesitated to designate the UAE as an “aggressor state,” severed diplomatic relations, and filed a complaint against it with the UN Security Council.
Al-Atta, who commands mobile military operations, stated in a speech delivered Sunday, to a military gathering at the Armored Corps headquarters in Khartoum that “the UAE has waged war on Sudan since April 2023 and continues to carry out operations of destruction and killing everywhere with the aim of terrorizing the remaining areas where they are not present and forcing the population to flee.”
He added that “the goal of the current war is to expel Sudanese people from their homeland and plunder their resources,” revealing that the UAE plans to seize power in Sudan began in 2017 and has since expanded to include parts of Libya, Chad, South Sudan, and Niger, while also seeking to incite unrest in Algeria.
Al-Atta explained that “this plan aims to make Sudan a center of chaos, conflict, and terrorism in the African continent, allowing the UAE to exploit the continent’s resources.”
He accused Emirati leaders of funding the recruitment of mercenaries from West African countries and purchasing weapons, as well as attempting to influence international and humanitarian organizations and buying the loyalty of some heads of state with money from Mohammed bin Zayed and his brothers.
Al-Atta affirmed that the armed forces are ready to fight the upcoming battle against the Rapid Support Forces, vowing to defeat the “Janjaweed” and expel them from Kordofan and Darfur.
He added, “We will defeat them and expel them from Kordofan and Darfur with our faith in God and our capabilities, and God will grant us victory because we are on the side of right.” He explained that the tragedies, killings, and displacement suffered by citizens are a powerful incentive to act swiftly and fight bravely.
He continued, “We are not warmongers; we have fought many times and we love peace, but we know the true path to peace so that this war will be the last of Sudan’s sorrows.”
Al-Atta pointed out that what happened in El Fasher was a shock to the international community, which, he said, had been turning a blind eye to what was happening due to Emirati money and bribes. He noted that the world is now witnessing the atrocities of ethnic killings, burying citizens alive, forced displacement, rape, and looting.
Al-Atta strongly criticized the international organizations’ decision to deliver humanitarian aid only after the fall of El Fasher, saying, “These people are hypocrites and liars. The atrocities committed in El Fasher were appalling, yet they were unmoved.”
