May 2025 witnessed a series of significant political developments in Sudan. On Thursday, May 22, the United States imposed sanctions on the Sudanese government, accusing it of deploying internationally banned chemical weapons against civilians. In response, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly rejected the U.S. State Department’s claims, describing them as baseless.

Meanwhile, the Sudanese Security and Defense Council, in a statement delivered by Lieutenant General Yassin Ibrahim—Minister of Defense and spokesperson for the Council—announced that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is now considered an enemy state. Consequently, Sudan has severed diplomatic relations and withdrawn its embassy and consulate from the UAE. This decision followed a series of drone attacks that targeted vital infrastructure in Port Sudan.
