Like all peace-loving countries, the United Arab Emirates works hard to help other countries get over their economic, political and social problems.

The UAE’s end goal is to pave the road for settling all conflicts in the region, which makes peace, security and stability possible in this region.

Sudan has succeeded in initialing a peace deal with rebel groups in the western Darfur region after 17 years of fighting with these groups.

The agreement was signed on August 30 in Sudanese capital Juba.

The agreement will end tensions in Sudan. It gives South Kordofan and Blue Nile states self autonomy. It also gives the two states 40% of their revenues, whereas the remaining 60% will go to the federal government.

According to Spokesman of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereign Council Shams al-Din Kabashi, several Arab and regional states participated in making the deal a success.

Top in the list of these states were the United Arab Emirates and Chad, Kabashi said.

The United Arab Emirates sent a senior delegation to help Sudanese parties finalize the deal, according to Khaled Seif al-Shamsi, who is responsible for the Sudan file.

He added on Twitter that the members of the Sudanese delegation oversaw the progress of the deal until both sides initialed it in Juba.

The UAE has always backed the countries of the region get over their problems and bring about peace and stability.

Some regional states, including Turkey and Qatar, refused, meanwhile, the political transition in Sudan.

The two states considered this transition a coup against legitimacy.

However, the UAE opposed attempts by these regional sponsors of the Muslim Brotherhood movement to sabotage the transition in Sudan.

Abu Dhabi had backed the transitional period agreement that was signed by the Sudanese government on July 5, 2019.
