Sudanese Minister Delivers Defiant Speech Near Flames After UAE-Backed Militia's Drone Attacks on Port Sudan
Port Sudan – May 6, 2025
As thick plumes of smoke billowed behind him from the site of terrorist drone strikes in Port Sudan, Sudan’s Minister of Culture and Information, Khalid Aleisir, stood resolute and delivered a powerful address to the nation.
The speech followed a series of coordinated drone attacks carried out by the UAE-backed Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed) that targeted Port Sudan’s civilian airport and nearby fuel depots. The strikes—one of which hit near the airport terminal and another that struck fuel and gas warehouses at the port—sparked mass panic, canceled flights, and ignited fires that engulfed parts of the city.
Standing just meters from the flames, Minister Aleisir addressed the Sudanese people and the world with a defiant tone:
“We will not be intimidated by these operations,” he declared. “We will continue our legitimate battle against the militias and against the United Arab Emirates.”
He stressed that the Sudanese people and their armed forces will not yield, despite the scale of destruction and the international silence surrounding these repeated violations. Calling the drone attacks “the greatest act of terrorism,” he challenged the international community’s credibility in fighting terrorism, saying:
“If there is a real will from the international community—the same community that falsely claims to fight terrorism—then this is it. This is terrorism sponsored by the UAE.”
His speech, charged with national pride and condemnation of foreign interference, captured the emotional and symbolic weight of a moment where civilians and officials alike refused to be broken by terror.
As Port Sudan reels from the attacks, the government has renewed calls for international accountability and urgent action to halt the flow of weapons and drones to the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed), accusing the UAE of fueling the ongoing devastation in Sudan.
