The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly condemned an attack targeting Sudan’s Khartoum Airport, the Saudi Press Agency said on Wednesday.

In a statement issued by its General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Mohammed Al-Issa reaffirmed full solidarity with Sudan in the face of anything that threatens its security, stability, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and legitimate institutions.

He emphasized the urgent need to immediately end such violations and to adhere fully to the provisions of the Jeddah Declaration, as well as relevant international laws on the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, in order to spare the Sudanese people and their resources from the devastating consequences of war.

The Sudanese government accused Ethiopia of being behind recent drone attacks on sites including Khartoum airport and recalled its ambassador on Tuesday.

In response, Ethiopia’s foreign ministry issued a statement saying it “rejects (the) baseless accusations.”

A military spokesperson in Sudan said the government has evidence of four drone strikes since March 1 originating from neighboring Ethiopia’s Bahir Dar airport.

An attack on Monday targeted the Khartoum airport.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Tuesday an attack on Khartoum airport in the Sudanese capital.

The Kingdom reiterated “its firm stance calling for the preservation of Sudan’s unity, legitimate institutions, the resources of its brotherly people, and its security and stability. It also stresses the importance of keeping civilian and vital facilities out of the conflict, said a Foreign Ministry statement.

The Kingdom called on the parties to de-escalate the situation, immediately halt violations, and respect the commitments made in the Jeddah Declaration signed on May 11, 2023, including the protection of civilians and civilian facilities and compliance with international humanitarian law.

The Kingdom also “called on Sudan’s neighboring countries to respect Sudan’s sovereignty and independence and to prevent their territories from being used as a launch point for these attacks.”
