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.
