UAE Had Sponsored Columbian Mercenaries In Aiding Sudanese Militants Commit Genocide.

London; April 2026: The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has released a report on 25th April 2026 by the Conflict Insights Group (CIG), that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have paid Colombian mercenaries to help Sudan’s militant group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), massacre thousands of civilians in the northeastern African country. The CIG investigations have collected data from tracking the mobile phones of the Colombian mercenaries. CIG director Justin Lynch told the BBC that the investigation by the security analysis organisation is “the first research where we can prove UAE’s involvement with certainty in the Sudan conflict. We are making public what governments have long known, that there is a direct link between Abu Dhabi and the RSF”, he added.

The RSF, which has been fighting the Sudanese army over the past few years, currently controls large swathes of the country’s southwestern territories, including most of the region of Darfur. The militants captured el-Fasher on October 26, 2025, with reports saying they massacred thousands of civilians who failed to flee the city.

A UN fact-finding mission found that RSF actions in el-Fasher show “hallmarks of genocide” against the Zaghawa and Fur communities. CIG tracked the mobile phones of over 50 Colombian mercenaries present in Sudan between April 2025 and January 2026. It found that the Colombian mercenaries were stationed at several regional staging areas, such as an Emirati military training site in Ghayathi, Abu Dhabi, before travelling to Sudan.

Operating as drone pilots, artillerymen, and instructors in a brigade known as the Desert Wolves, the Colombian mercenaries are employed by a UAE-based company with ties to senior Emirati government officials, according to the CIG research. Lynch said, “The scale of atrocities and siege in el-Fasher wouldn’t have happened without the drone operations the mercenaries provided”. Despite denials by the UAE, several reports have suggested that the Persian Gulf Arab country supports RSF militants in Sudan in a bid to get access to gold and secure control over Red Sea shipping lanes, as well as agricultural land.

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have killed more than 200 civilians in a series of assaults on displacement camps and surrounding areas of El Fasher, the last major city controlled by the Sudanese army in the Darfur region on 13th April 2026. The fatalities include at least 56 civilians who were killed by the RSF forces during two days of assaults in Um Kadadah, a town they captured on the route to El Fasher.

The violence in the Darfur region is among the most severe since the start of the civil war between Sudan’s army and the RSF forces, who are backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), nearly two years ago. The United Nations said that killings were ongoing at two major displacement camps, including the complete massacre of the medical personnel from Relief International, which was running the last functioning clinic within Zamzam camp. The RSF forces were reportedly setting buildings ablaze throughout Zamzam on 13th April 2025 (Sunday), claiming that they were searching for Sudanese government fighters concealed within the camps.

In 2023, a conflict broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands, displaced over 12 million people, and led the International Rescue Committee to characterise it as “the largest humanitarian crisis ever documented”.

Khartoum has accused the UAE of backing the RSF in what it calls a genocide against the non-Arab Masalit people in Sudan’s Darfur region. The Sudanese government demands that the UAE cease its support for the RSF and provide “full reparations,” including compensation for the war’s victims.

On 09th April 2025 (Thursday), Sudan took legal action against the UAE at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for creating the “driving force” behind the ongoing “genocide” in Sudan.
