Supplying weapons and logistical support to the RSF.
Allegedly deploying Colombian and other Latin American mercenaries to fight on RSF’s behalf.
The Sudanese government has accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of deploying foreign mercenaries, including Colombians and fighters from neighboring African countries, to bolster the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country’s ongoing civil war against the national military.
In a statement released on Monday, Sudan’s Foreign Ministry alleged that it possesses “irrefutable evidence” that mercenaries from Colombia and other unspecified African nations have been recruited, financed, and deployed by Emirati authorities to support the RSF. However, the statement did not provide specific proof to substantiate the claim, nor did it name the neighboring countries allegedly involved.
“This unprecedented phenomenon poses a serious threat to peace and security in the region and across the continent,” the ministry said. It further claimed that hundreds of thousands of mercenaries had been hired across Africa to take part in the conflict, describing the development as a dangerous escalation with far-reaching consequences.
