Mediation in Sudan
13 JANUARY 2025
The ongoing war in Sudan has claimed the lives of 150,000 people and displaced 14 million, leading to what is regarded as "the world's worst humanitarian crisis" in nearly two years of conflict. The violence erupted in April 2023 due to a power struggle between two leading military figures. Khartoum has accused the UAE of supplying arms to its rivals, a claim that Abu Dhabi has firmly denied. After successfully mediating an agreement between Ethiopia and Somalia, Ankara is now prepared to facilitate discussions between Khartoum and Abu Dhabi.
