Khartoum has accused Abu Dhabi of supporting the Flexible Reaction Force, which opposes the ruling Sovereign Council.

It should be noted that the situation in Sudan became tense in April 2023 due to a disagreement between the president of the country’s Sovereign Council, army commander Abdulfattah al-Burhan and the head of the rapid response forces, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo. The main differences between them are related to the timing and methods of forming a unified armed force, as well as who should occupy the position of commander-in-chief.
