A network of Colombian mercenaries backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) provided critical support to Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) enabling it to capture the western city of el-Fasher last year, a new report said.
The investigation, by security analysis organisation the Conflict Insights Group (CIG), used data obtained from tracking the mobile phones of the Colombian fighters.
The UAE has long denied supporting the RSF, which has been fighting Sudan’s regular army for three years.
El-Fasher’s fall was one of the most brutal chapters of the conflict, which has led to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis with tens of thousands killed and millions forced from their homes.
