Arab League condemns attacks on Sudan energy facilities

The Arab League has strongly condemned repeated attacks carried out by the Rapid Support Forces using drones, targeting vital facilities and energy sector infrastructure in the states of Khartoum, Al-Jazirah, Sennar, Gedaref, Nile River, and Red Sea. The attacks have caused severe damage to these facilities, forced several out of service, and led to widespread power outages, further worsening the suffering of civilians.

In a statement issued in Cairo today, the Arab League General Secretariat warned that the deliberate targeting of power stations and civilian infrastructure constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and amounts to a war crime that requires accountability. The statement also noted that such attacks deprive civilians of essential services.

The League reaffirmed its categorical rejection of all attacks targeting civilians and civilian or service facilities, reiterating its steadfast support for the Republic of Sudan, the preservation of its unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity, national institutions, and the protection of its people's resources and infrastructure.

The General Secretariat also recalled Arab League Council Resolution No. 9246, issued on May 11, which strongly condemned attacks on Sudan's infrastructure and civilian facilities, and highlighted the resulting loss of life and damage to public and private property.
