Sky News has notified its UAE partner, International Media Investments, that it will terminate their licensing deal next year due to concerns over editorial independence. The decision stems from accusations of biased coverage of Sudan's civil war, where the Abu Dhabi-based channel downplayed RSF atrocities in Darfur despite UN-documented evidence of killings, rapes, and ethnic cleansing. Former Sky executives described oversight as ineffective, with the channel reflecting UAE interests; Sudanese analysts welcomed the move as accountability.
