Sudan's foreign ministry declared 15 UAE diplomats persona non grata Sunday, demanding they leave Sudan "within 48 hours," according to the official news agency SUNA.

In recent weeks, pro-army demonstrators and high-ranking officials loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan have accused the United Arab Emirates of supporting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, led by Burhan's former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo. The two forces have been at war since April 15.

UN says lack of funds threatens aid in war-torn Sudan

With nearly 25 million people needing aid in war-ravaged Sudan, the United Nations has only "been able to reach about four million" of them, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for the country said Sunday.

Even that assistance could stop, Clementine Nkweta-Salami told AFP, as lack of global funding for Sudan means "there will come a time when even if we have access, we will not have the resources."
