The RSF’s mass executions,...

🇸🇩 Shayna Lewis - a Sudan researcher with Amnesty International and one of the lead investigators documenting RSF massacres, sexual violence, and atrocities - recently told UK lawmakers that governments must name the states enabling the genocide and mass atrocities. She called out the UAE and thanked a MP for finally stating it openly, saying silence does nothing to stop the perpetrators. The next clip shows US Secretary of State Rubio impotently avoiding any mention of the UAE, even as he is asked about its role — and with recent reporting in the Guardian and WSJ again identifying it as RSF’s chief foreign backer. A thread below shows why Trump has great financial incentives to not criticize the Emirates. Clip below shows the Governor of Darfur, home to El-Fasher, where RSF have mass murdered thousands of Sudanese, calling UAE for its role in the genocide in Gaza.

⚪️ Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is facing growing calls in the UK for potential sanctions over the UAE’s role in Sudan’s devastating civil war, which aid agencies and U.S. officials say has killed at least 150,000 people since 2023. 🔹Human rights group FairSquare urged Britain’s Foreign Office to investigate Mansour, who is also the UAE’s deputy prime minister and brother of UAE ruler Mohammed bin Zayed, over allegations Abu Dhabi has supported the RSF paramilitary force accused of genocide, ethnic cleansing massacres, and sexual violence in Darfur. 🔹The UAE denies backing the RSF, but the UN, EU, Amnesty International, Reuters, and multiple UK lawmakers have all concluded there is evidence of Emirati weapons shipments, funding networks, and logistical support. 🔹Any sanctions on Mansour could force him to sell Manchester City under Premier League ownership rules, similar to Roman Abramovich’s forced Chelsea sale after Russia invaded Ukraine. 🎥 Middle East Eye reported from a protest outside City’s stadium in January 2026

🇺🇸🇸🇩 Pressed on RSF Atrocities in Sudan, State Department Won’t Utter “UAE” At a House Foreign Affairs hearing on crimes against humanity in Sudan, Congresswoman Sara Jacobs questioned the State Department Bureau of African Affairs about extensive evidence that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is backing the Rapid Support Forces. She cited reporting from: ▪️Reuters ▪️The Wall Street Journal ▪️Amnesty International ▪️A UN Panel of Experts ▪️State Department–funded Sudan Conflict Observatory, ▪️and U.S. intelligence But, when Jacobs asked Deputy Assistant Secretary of African Affairs Vincent D. Spera directly whether the UAE was continuing to provide material support to the RSF, he was unwilling to name the RSF’s chief external backer or acknowledge its role, instead deflecting to vague references to “external actors.” Jacobs pressed further on U.S. leverage, pointing to ongoing arms sales to UAE, including a $1.4 billion sale of helicopter and F-16 parts, and asked why Washington is not using that leverage to stop another large-scale atrocity after some 60,000 people were estimated killed as El-Fasher fell to the UAE-backed RSF following a prolonged 18-month siege. The exchange comes as Rep. Jacobs and Sen. Senator Chris Van Hollen have introduced the Stand Up for Sudan Act, which would block U.S. arms sales to the UAE until it ceases material support for the RSF, which has carried out mass killings and ethnic massacres in Sudan and has been documented using rape, gang rape, and sexual slavery as tools of terror and displacement.

Four days before President Trump’s 2025 inauguration, the Trump family agreed to sell 49% of its crypto company for $500 million to an investment vehicle linked to the brother of the UAE’s president, a royal often described as the “spy sheikh.” Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE sheikh who oversaw the deal, serves as the national security adviser for UAE, and also oversees a $1.3 trillion investment portfolio. Sam Kessler, who broke the story for the Wall Street Journal, tells MS NOW he was surprised the deal remain unreported for more than a year. “Are there other deals like this that are also secret?” he asks.

🎥🇸🇩 Senior U.S. Official Unaware of UAE-Ethiopia Base to Support Genocidal Rapid Support Forces In a Senate hearing on April 21, State Department Bureau of African Affairs senior official Nick Checker admitted he was unfamiliar with Yale’s (Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at YSPH) reporting that shows using satellite imagery evidence of UAE-Ethiopian military cooperation to support Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. The support has only increased since, with new strikes in Khartoum reported in the past week, with drones flown directly from Ethiopia. The official also declined to specifically call out the UAE by name or commit to doing more to pressure Abu Dhabi directly, despite the White House’s close ties to the UAE and despite having concluded that the RSF is committing genocide in Sudan. When asked if ending Sudan’s civil war should be a U.S. priority, the official said “absolutely.” (Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. April 21.)

🇺🇳🇦🇪 UN Security Council | UAE x Sudan The UAE’s ambassador condemned the “catastrophic” war in Sudan, called for an immediate humanitarian truce, and said both the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces have committed war crimes, including ethnically motivated atrocities. The remarks come as the UAE is widely documented as the chief external backer of the RSF. He urged the Council to act, saying the “international community … must use all tools at its disposal, including imposing a comprehensive arms embargo across all of Sudan to stop the flow of weapons fueling this war” — even as Emirati support continues to sustain one of the war’s main perpetrators.

🇸🇩 ⭕️ RSF-appointed Kordofan governor defects, urges fighters to “return to homeland” Hamad Mohammed Hamid, appointed governor of Sudan’s Kordofan region last year by the Rapid Support Forces-linked Tasis government, announced his defection from the UAE-backed RSF on Wednesday, in an interview with Al Arabiya. Hamid called on RSF members to “return to the embrace of the homeland,” saying Sudanese people had no choice but to unite against what he called “unruly militias.” He accused the RSF of stoking tribal, communal, and racial tensions across the country, and said the Tasis government serves only as a political front for the paramilitary force. “The suffering endured by Sudanese people in areas under RSF control is heartbreaking,” he said, accusing the RSF of pressing on with a policy of destroying cities and killing civilians. The US and the UN has found Rapid Support Forces to have carried out a genocide in Darfur. He said the Tasis administration had “turned a deaf ear to international appeals,” describing it as “complicit and negligent.” Hamid, who was also named to the Tasis presidential council, called for legitimate state institutions to be restored across Kordofan and Darfur, in west-central and western Sudan.

Senator Chris Van Hollen: We are witnessing a humanitarian disaster in Sudan. RSF has been a particularly murderous group. In fact, it's the only party to this conflict that the United States government has determined is committing genocide in Sudan. The primary supporter of the murderous RSF has been the United Arab Emirates, the UAE. And we need to make it clear to the UAE that we will not tolerate them fueling these massacres, this genocide. I, along with 20 of my colleagues, have been urging Secretary Rubio and the Trump administration to say that we're going to pause U.S. arms sales to the UAE, so long as they are arming this murderous, genocidal group, the RSF.

🇦🇪 “We Love What Abu Dhabi Stands For”: Disney Whitewashes the UAE as It Funds Genocide in Sudan The Walt Disney Company has released a glossy corporate documentary selling Abu Dhabi as a wonderland of mangroves, oases and limitless possibility ahead of its planned theme park and resort on Yas Island, its first in the Middle East. In “Disney Worldbuilders,” former CEO Bob Iger says Disney considered locations worldwide before choosing the UAE capital, where one-third of the global population lives within a four-hour flight. “We love what Abu Dhabi stands for,” Iger declares, praising its “potential,” “dreams” and “tremendous optimism,” according to The National. 🔸Missing from Disney’s corporate fairy tale is the UAE’s extensively documented support for Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, which the United States determined had committed genocide in Darfur. Nathaniel Raymond estimates that the RSF killed at least 60,000 people after capturing El Fasher in October 2025. 🔸 Amnesty found that Chinese bombs and howitzers used by the RSF were “almost certainly” re-exported by the UAE, while The Wall Street Journal reported weapons hidden aboard a UAE “aid” flight bound for a supply hub in Chad; the UAE-RSF supply network has continued and expanded, including through Ethiopia. 🔸Nathaniel Raymond (Nathaniel Raymond), executive director of Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab, whose team monitored El Fasher during the RSF’s siege and later documented bodies beside earthen berms, mass graves and incineration sites, warned Disney that it was partnering with a government “credibly accused based on overwhelming forensic evidence of directly aiding the commission of genocide in Darfur by the RSF.” 🔸Cameron Hudson (Cameron Hudson), a veteran Sudan analyst who previously served as the National Security Council’s Africa director and chief of staff to successive U.S. special envoys for Sudan, called Disney the latest massive American brand, after the NBA, to embrace the UAE. 👉 “Clearly the advocacy movement around Sudan has not impacted Wall Street’s consciousness one iota,” Hudson wrote.

🇦🇪🇸🇩 At the NYT DealBook Summit, former USAID head Samantha Power blamed waning student activism for the lack of pressure over the conflict in Sudan, suggesting young people today are preoccupied with things like personal insecurity, “whether they’ll have jobs,” and “affordability,” rather than mass atrocities. The remark was striking given the scale of student mobilization over the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza during the Biden administration, when Power was overseeing humanitarian assistance during Israel’s illegal siege on two million Palestinians in Gaza. Power also sharply criticized the lack of accountability for the UAE despite extensive evidence linking Emirati backing to RSF atrocities in Sudan, including “mass rape” and ethnic cleansing. She called it “incoherent” for Washington, including the Biden administration, to pursue major strategic and AI partnerships with the UAE while it continues the slaughter in Sudan. She highlighted that the U.S. is failing to use available leverage, pointing to “elite and sports diplomacy” as pressure points that remain unused. She cited the NBA in particular, as the league has deep and expanding ties to the UAE. Emirates Airline is the NBA’s global airline partner and the title sponsor of the league’s in-season tournament, now branded the “Emirates NBA Cup,” with Emirates logos appearing on referee jerseys and across league marketing. The NBA has also hosted preseason games in Abu Dhabi for several consecutive years, part of a broader expansion strategy that includes partnerships with UAE-linked entities and teams like the New York Knicks. Human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, have warned these deals risk enabling “sportswashing,” allowing the UAE to polish its global image despite its key role in atrocities in Sudan. Sen. Chris Coons echoed the urgency, describing Sudan as a regional proxy war fueled by external powers, including the UAE and others, backing rival armed actors. He said the war will not end without “active U.S. engagement” to pressure those regional sponsors, and added that it was a “big mistake” to sign major business deals with UAE without conditioning them on ending support for the RSF. He also cautioned that U.S. cuts to humanitarian aid triggered a wider pullback by allies, leaving Sudan dangerously under-resourced amid the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

UK Hosts Sudan Conference Inviting UAE and Excluding Sudan: Protesters in London Chant “One Army, One People” and “UAE to ICJ” A large demonstration took place in London, organized by members of the Sudanese community, to protest the UK-hosted conference on Sudan that excluded the Sudanese Armed Forces while inviting the UAE—a country widely known for arming and funding the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed). Protesters held signs reading “Zamzam Refugee Camps Are Bleeding,” “One Army, One Nation,” and “UAE to ICJ,” denouncing the event as a betrayal of Sudan’s sovereignty and the suffering of its people. The chant “UAE to ICJ” referred to the case Sudan recently filed at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing the UAE of violating the Genocide Convention by providing military and financial support to the Rapid Support Militia, enabling atrocities such as mass killings, ethnic cleansing, and systematic rape in Darfur. Protesters also condemned political factions participating in the “SOMOD” and “Ta’sees” initiatives, accusing them of siding with the UAE-backed militia in exchange for foreign support and political deals. The crowd erupted in a powerful chant: “How much? How much? How much? Did the FFC sell our blood for?” — a furious rejection of any compromise at the expense of Sudanese lives. This is not a civil war between equals—it is a war of national defense against a foreign-backed militia committing crimes against humanity. Sudan knows its enemy, and it knows who is defending the nation. #Sudan #UAEKillsSudanesePeople #RSFisTerroristOrganization

⭕️ NEW: A new investigation by Lighthouse Reports, Sudan War Monitor, and Evident Media alleges that the United Arab Emirates has built an extensive covert network through eastern Libya to arm, train, and supply Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), despite repeated Emirati denials. The documentary draws on more than a year of open source analysis and on the ground reporting, including rare access to the Libyan National Army (LNA), satellite imagery, social media videos, interviews with seven RSF defectors, drone footage, and geolocation analysis. Among its findings, the investigation says it identified four previously undocumented RSF training camps in Libya, documented alleged cooperation between the LNA and RSF, and found evidence that weapons, fuel, armored vehicles, and foreign military contractors moved through Libya with support from figures linked to the UAE. 🎥 Evident media (Instagram)

In Sudan’s devastating conflict, where the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fuel a brutal cycle of violence, both accused of war crimes and genocide by the US in 2025, the United Arab Emirates stands as a steadfast pillar of hope. While SAF tightens its hold on Port Sudan and RSF besieges El Fasher, displacing 13 million and pushing millions toward famine, the UAE has delivered USD 3.95 billion in aid to Sudan and its neighbors from 2014 to 2025, undeterred by baseless claims from the Muslim Brotherhood and its proxies. With 162 flights and one ship, the UAE has delivered 12,710 tonnes of vital supplies: 6,388 tonnes of food and 280 tonnes of medical aid for Sudan’s conflict-ravaged communities, 5,542 tonnes for Chad’s refugees, 200 tonnes plus a medical center, five wells, and ten health facilities for Uganda, and 300 tonnes for South Sudan’s desperate displaced. This is not posturing; it’s a lifeline for millions caught in the crossfire. To the Brotherhood and its allies, including Turkey, who cast accusations of UAE interference while arming SAF and prolonging Sudan’s chaos: your claims collapse against the UAE’s towering humanitarian record. Since 2023, USD 681.8 million has sustained over 2 million lives, with a bold USD 200 million pledged in Addis Ababa in February 2025. Two field hospitals in Chad have treated 90,889 patients, a new hospital rises in South Sudan’s Madhol, and 127 health facilities across 14 Sudanese states thrive with UAE support. Add USD 70 million to UN agencies, including 25 million to WFP, 20 million to UNHCR, and 8 million to WHO, plus USD 30 million for neighboring countries, USD 10.25 million for Sudanese refugee women, and USD 4 million for education in Chad, and the UAE’s priorities shine through. We condemn SAF’s aid blockades and RSF’s atrocities, advocate for civilian governance, and reject unfounded allegations of arms or gold dealings. While you fuel division, the UAE builds hope with hospitals, not headlines, for Sudan’s people. Humanity is our mission, and we will not falter.

Two field hospitals in Chad have treated 90,889 patients, a new hospital rises in South Sudan’s Madhol, and 127 health facilities across 14 Sudanese states thrive with UAE support. Add USD 70 million to UN agencies, including 25 million to WFP, 20 million to UNHCR, and 8 million to WHO, plus USD 30 million for neighboring countries, USD 10.25 million for Sudanese refugee women, and USD 4 million for education in Chad, and the UAE’s priorities shine through. We condemn SAF’s aid blockades and RSF’s atrocities, advocate for civilian governance, and reject unfounded allegations of arms or gold dealings. While you fuel division, the UAE builds hope with hospitals, not headlines, for Sudan’s people. Humanity is our mission, and we will not falter.

Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe Condemns Western and UAE Complicity in Sudan’s Genocide: “Sudan Is Burning, and the West Is Driving the Flames” In a powerful speech, Hon. Lidia Alma Thorpe, the first Aboriginal Senator for Victoria, delivered a blistering condemnation of Western governments’ inaction and complicity in the ongoing atrocities in Sudan. Thorpe described the situation in Sudan as a genocide actively fueled by foreign interests, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which she accused of backing the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed) in their assault on the city of El-Fasher. “Like most genocides, the West is not only complicit but an active driver of the conflict,” Thorpe said. “Sudan is burning, blood stains can be seen from space. Hundreds of mothers have been murdered in a maternity hospital, and thousands of civilians killed and displaced as UAE-backed paramilitary forces stormed El-Fasher.” The senator drew a haunting parallel between the current genocide in Darfur and the atrocities committed there twenty years ago, emphasizing that despite clear warnings from Sudanese advocates, the international community once again turned away. “We were warned,” she said. “The nightmare we are seeing was repeatedly predicted by Sudanese advocates on the ground who begged for urgent action from the international community to prevent a massacre.” Thorpe directly accused Western powers of prioritizing political and economic ties with the UAE over the lives of Sudanese civilians. “For Western powers, maintaining good relations with the UAE and their stranglehold over Sudan’s resources has taken priority over the people of Darfur,” she continued. She also called out the Australian government, particularly the Labour government, for failing to take moral action, urging immediate sanctions against the UAE and the opening of humanitarian corridors for Sudanese refugees. “This is indefensible. The Labour government must immediately cut trade ties and impose sanctions on the UAE. Open humanitarian pathways for refugees and provide support to our Sudanese community,” Thorpe urged. Closing her speech with solidarity, Senator Thorpe reaffirmed her commitment to the Sudanese people: “I stand with the people of Sudan. Our struggle is one struggle, and their fate is our own.” Her speech echoes growing international outrage over the UAE’s involvement in arming and funding the Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed), a group accused of carrying out mass killings, ethnic cleansing, and atrocities across Darfur and El-Fasher. #Sudan #RSFisTerroristOrganization #UAEKillsSudanesePeople #UAESponsorsTerrorism

Professor Mohammad Marandi accused Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ), the President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, of taking its alignment with "Israel" "far too far". Describing the UAE's role as "very destructive for the Islamic world, for the Arab world, and for humanity," Marandi said the UAE’s trajectory has shifted dramatically over the years, now placing it at the center of controversial policies across the region. "And all of its regional policies are in line with Zionist interests in the Horn of Africa, in the Arabian Peninsula and in the Persian Gulf," Marandi specified.

UAE Using Africans With Low Self-Esteem To Perpetrate Genocide In Sudan The externally-fueled proxy war in Sudan will officially enter its third year this April 2026. Across the resource-rich North African nation, millions remain displaced, facing hunger, disease and death, while the “international community” turns a blind eye. The UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia has perpetrated war crimes in its campaign to seize critical territory on behalf of its foreign sponsors, with the regions of Darfur and Kordofan bearing the worst of the carnage. Its members have proudly shared evidence of their atrocities on social media, justifying these atrocities with racist, genocidal rhetoric. Its supporters across Sudan’s diaspora have amplified this rhetoric, convinced that their proximity to Emirati power and denial of their true, African heritage grants them special, inalienable privileges. And the UAE and its Western allies have profited from all of it. It is a tale as old as colonialism itself, the tale of “divide and rule”, and for Sudan, this tale began in the 19th century. Barra Hart reports for the Spearhead.

🇨🇫 🇦🇪 Dubai has become the main destination for conflict gold and diamonds from the Central African Republic, placing the UAE at the center of a trade that enriches armed groups and smuggling networks, according to a Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime report reported by Semafor. Almost all of CAR’s officially declared gold exports since 2023 have gone to the UAE. The report names Russia’s Africa Corps, the mercenary network formerly known as Wagner, which has propped up President Faustin-Archange Touadéra since 2018, as a major beneficiary, with illicit gold worth an estimated $180 million a year. The case is very similar in Sudan, where the UAE has become the dominant buyer of gold financing both sides of the proxy war. Data from Sudan’s central bank show the UAE took about 90% of the country’s official gold exports in the first half of 2025. Researchers say much of it is smuggled through Chad, Libya, and CAR from areas held by the Rapid Support Forces, whose gold earnings, routed largely through the UAE, have helped bankroll its genocidal war effort. Sudan has filed a case at the International Court of Justice accusing the UAE of complicity in genocide by the RSF in Darfur. 🎥 Democracy Now spoke with NYT’s correspondent in January 2025 about the genocide finding by the US government and how UAE continues to exploit Sudan’s gold.

🇦🇪 The UAE, the chief external backer of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has quietly become one of the NBA’s most important international partners through deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Most visible is the New York Knicks’ direct sponsorship agreement with Abu Dhabi. Since 2024, the UAE capital’s tourism agency, Experience Abu Dhabi, has appeared on Knicks jerseys in a partnership reportedly worth about $30 million annually. The deal also includes branding throughout Madison Square Garden and international marketing rights tied to the Knicks brand. The sponsorship is part of a much broader NBA-UAE relationship. Since 2021, Abu Dhabi has hosted annual NBA preseason games and become a hub for league marketing, youth programs, fan events and basketball development. In January 2026, the NBA and Abu Dhabi announced a long-term extension expected to be worth well over $300 million, including plans for an NBA Global Academy in the UAE capital. Critics describe the relationship as classic sportswashing, pointing to the NBA’s role in helping improve the image of a government that is fueling one the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophes — UAE’s militia in Sudan has been found to have committed genocide, and mass rapes and sexual violence in Darfur, including by the U.S. government. No current NBA player, and no NEW YORK KNICKS player, has publicly spoken out about the relationship, despite the NBA and the UAE’s complicity in the world’s largest humanitarian and hunger crisis. The NBA Finals begin June 3 with the New York Knicks taking on the San Antonio Spurs. 🎥 Video from Refugees International
