A Sudanese military commander, Major General al-Nur Ahmed Adam Quba, has said that the war plan in Sudan is an external scheme led by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) aimed at taking control of the country, and if that fails, it is intended to divide it.
He said the plan was “known to the whole world” and claimed he could name some Emirati figures coordinating with the militia in the conflict.
Speaking at a press conference in Khartoum on Thursday, he said the main operations room managing the war in Sudan is based in the UAE, with subsidiary rooms in Nyala and other parts of Darfur.
He also said members of the Dagalo family have rooms in the UAE through which they run “campaigns of incitement and misinformation” against the country, according to Sudanese News Agency (SUNA).

He added that supplies are being transported through Libya, Chad and South Sudan before entering Darfur by land, stressing that the Sudanese people, through unity and resilience, would defeat these plans.
He also referred to the situation within the militia, saying that funding and support are still ongoing, but that the group is suffering from leadership instability. He claimed that influential leaders have either been killed, left, or withdrawn.
He said there is growing willingness among many militia members to leave, surrender, and rejoin what he described as the national side.
Quba confirmed that his forces will take part in what he called the “war of dignity” alongside the armed forces and supporting units to defeat the rebel militia and “liberate the country”. He added that his forces are now wearing the army uniform and are committed to military rules and regulations.
