Sudan suspends Arab Satellite Channels for lack of transparency and expired licenses
Sudanese authorities suspended three Arab satellite channels: Sky News Arabia, Al Arabiya, and Al Hadath. The Ministry of Culture and Information cited a lack of transparency, unprofessional reporting practices, and license renewal issues for the suspensions.

Minister Graham Abdel Gader’s statement stated that the UAE-funded Sky News Arabia’s suspension stemmed from "harmful publishing," while the two other Saudi channels, Al Arabiya and Al Hadath, did not renew their licenses.

In a separate statement about the UAE channel, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized Sky News Arabia for broadcasting an unrelated Euronews video about the Somali holy warrior group al-Shabaab
...... Somalia's version of the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...

, presenting it as footage from Sudan. The ministry also said the report relied on a newspaper affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Sky News Arabia defended the report’s accuracy but acknowledged the use of archived footage.
