Sudan and the United Arab Emirates clashed at the UN Security Council on Tuesday over accusations by the army-aligned Sudanese government that the UAE is providing weapons and support to a rival warring party in the country's 14-month-long conflict.
Sitting next to each other at the Security Council table, UAE UN Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab said Sudan's UN Ambassador Al-Harith Idriss Al-Harith Mohamed had made "ludicrous" and false allegations designed to distract from "grave violations that are happening on the ground."
