The UAE, along with several other nations, have welcomed the extended ceasefire in Sudan, but have called for its full implementation. 

Members of the Trilateral Mechanism (the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, and the United Nations) and the Quad (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the UK and the US) released a joint statement calling for dialogue towards establishing a more durable cessation of hostilities.

They also stressed the importance of ensuring unimpeded humanitarian access. 

The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have extend the current ceasefire for an additional 72 hours.
