UAE accused of training Colombian mercenaries for Sudan’s war
Human Rights Watch accuses the United Arab Emirates of training Colombian mercenaries to fight alongside Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are linked to war crimes and atrocities. The UAE denied the claims, but the report cites evidence of training at UAE military bases and combat roles in Sudan. The RSF, formerly tied to Janjaweed militias, has been involved in widespread violence since the 2023 Sudanese civil war began.
