Emergency Arab Meeting to Discuss Developments in Sudan

The League of Arab States is holding an emergency meeting today (Sunday) at the level of permanent representatives in response to a request submitted by the Sudanese government and supported by member states.

The meeting aims to discuss the recent developments in Khartoum, particularly following a series of attacks targeting the capital’s international airport and other locations.

Sudan’s permanent delegation to the Arab League issued an official memorandum to member states calling for the emergency session of the League Council at the level of permanent representatives.

The meeting comes amid a recent military escalation in the Sudanese capital, where Khartoum International Airport was targeted by drone attacks, the first of their kind after months of relative stability.

Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned the recent attacks, describing them as a serious threat to regional peace and security, and reaffirmed the League’s solidarity with Sudan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Arab countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar also condemned the attacks.
