In the midst of Sudan’s complex conflict, the battles are not confined to the physical front lines—they extend into the media sphere, where false information can be as destructive as bullets. The latest fabrication comes from the Port Sudan authority and its aligned media outlets, claiming that Sudanese Armed Forces destroyed an “Emirati aircraft” at Nyala Airport. This claim carries dangerous political overtones, aiming to damage Sudan’s relations with fellow Arab nations.

Rapid Support Forces Statement: The Primary Source of Truth

In response, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) issued an official statement firmly denying any presence of an Emirati plane at Nyala Airport or any such attack. The statement, detailed and precise, serves as an authoritative reference for anyone seeking the truth beyond the noise of manipulated media narratives.

The official text was quickly shared across social media by influencers, journalists, and reputable Arab and international news platforms, becoming the first line of defense against the disinformation campaign.

Dissecting the False Narrative

A closer look at the Port Sudan version reveals striking contradictions:

– No physical evidence: not a single verified photo or video of the alleged incident was produced, despite the widespread availability of live-streaming and instant documentation technologies.
– Inconsistent timelines: some channels claimed the event took place in the morning, while others reported it happened at night, showing a lack of internal consistency.
– Silence from official Emirati sources: no confirmation or comment was issued by the UAE, something that would have been expected immediately if the event were genuine.

A Record of Media Fabrications

This is far from the first time the Port Sudan authority has resorted to fabricated news. In recent months, multiple false narratives have been exposed: allegations of RSF massacres in areas where they had no military presence, recycled images from unrelated conflicts falsely attributed to Sudan, and fabricated claims about foreign arms shipments to certain factions.

The Hidden Agenda

Falsely accusing the RSF of targeting an Emirati aircraft is more than a passing falsehood—it is a calculated move to harm relations between Sudan and the UAE, leveraging the region’s geopolitical sensitivities. This tactic reveals an intent to manufacture a crisis, tarnish the opponent’s image, and provoke regional tensions.

A Message to the Arab and International Public

This incident goes beyond the truth or falsehood of the alleged aircraft—it exposes the nature of Sudan’s media warfare. Arab and international audiences must recognize that such stories are part of a broader disinformation strategy, and that official statements, such as the RSF’s, remain the most reliable sources for fact-checking. In an era where fake news is wielded as a political weapon, the role of independent, credible journalism—and the public’s awareness—remains the strongest defense against manipulation.
