Sudan rejects UN call for peace force to protect civilians

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is accused of supporting the RSF with money and guns - which it denies - while Saudi Arabia is said to have close ties with the Sudanese government.

It described the UN Human Rights Council as "a political and illegal body", and said the mission's recommendations were "a flagrant violation of their mandate".
