Sudan Events – Agencies
Member of the Sovereign Council and Army Assistant Commander General Yasser Atta accused the UAE and France of seeking to divide Sudan and establish a homeland for Arab groups from West Africa in the Darfur region and part of Kordofan.
Atta, according to “Al-Minbar,” stated, “The talk of deploying international forces in Sudan is an international conspiracy sponsored by the UAE and some Western countries, especially France, which seeks to find land for Arab exiles or divide Sudan, settling for Darfur and part of Kordofan as their homeland.”
He launched a fierce attack on UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, accusing him of seeking to control Sudan’s coastline, agricultural lands, and gold. He also pointed to France’s interest in uranium in the Darfur region.
Atta threatened to fight any international forces entering Darfur. He claimed the UAE pushed Rapid Support Forces commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo to think about establishing an Arab state in Sudan, making it easier for the UAE to control agricultural land, ports in eastern Sudan, and gold. “The Sudanese people are facing a brutal and dirty aggression from the UAE,” he added.
Atta revealed the existence of a strategic operations room established for this purpose in Abu Dhabi, managing political, media, and now military battles. He stated that 90% of the fighters in the Rapid Support Forces are non-Sudanese, fighting for money and loot.
