An Article in the ‘New York Times’ lays bare the UAE’s secret role fuelling the conflict in Sudan through providing weapons and medical treatment to the violent RSF militia.
In July, Chadian President Mahamat Deby met with Emirati leader, Sheikh Mohamed, at one of his palaces in Abu Dhabi.
Mr.Deby left with a $1.5 billion loan and promises of military vehicles that were delivered in August.
Days later, Emirati planes began streaming into Amdjarass.

Their motive behind the cargo flights, the Emiratis say, is to provide aid to Sudanese refugees arriving in Chad
Yet those refugees are actually in Adré, a few hundred miles to the south and a two-day drive, not the tiny oasis town of Amdjarass with its unusually long airstrip.

In reality, under the guise of saving refugees, the UAE is running an elaborate covert operation to back the RSF militia in Sudan.
Supplying them powerful weapons and drones, treating injured fighters and airlifting the most serious cases to one of its military hospitals.

The weapons that the UAE delivers to Amdjarass are then trucked across the border to be received by the RSF in their base at Zurug.
The town of Amdjarass, far from most Sudanese refugees in need of humanitarian aid, lies convenient close to Zurug.

Another bombshell article, this time by the ‘Wall Street Journal’, found corroborating evidence of the UAE’s weapons shipments to the RSF.
On June 2 at Entebbe airport, Ugandan officials checked a cargo plane arriving from the UAE.
Yet instead of the food and medical supplies listed on the aircraft’s manifest, they found dozens of green plastic crates filled with ammunition, assault rifles and other small arms.

The Ugandan officials who found the arms and ammunition said the Emirati plane was allowed to continue its trip to Amdjarass International Airport in eastern Chad.
Subsequently, they received orders from their superiors to stop inspecting all flights stopping over from the UAE.

Here is an example of an Emirati drone provided to the RSF militia which was shot down by the Sudanese Army.
It’s a VTOL type drone, armed with two 120mm mortar rounds.
Not much is known about this mysterious drone, but it’s undoubtedly Emirati.

In 2021, there were 2 recorded incidents of this same drone being shot down by Houthis, it was operated by the UAE-backed “Giants Brigades”
It was also seen operated by the Ethiopian Army in its late 2021 war in Tigray where the UAE was also a major supply source for the EA.

In this video, the Sudanese Army captures several 120mm TB Thermobaric air drop shells with UT M18 fuzes.
These were originally produced by Serbian company Yugoimport back in 2020 and sold to #UAE which later supplied them to the RSF militia in Sudan.

Throughout the conflict, the steady flow of weapons from the UAE in support of the RSF militia has persisted.
⚡️Here the Sudanese Armed Forces seized brand new 9M133 Kornet anti-tank missiles provided by the UAE in support of the militia.

Turkish arms company “Repkon” had previously signed an agreement with the UAE to be an official distributor of the country’s defense systems.

These brand new Emirati-made Nimr armoured vehicles were delivered by the UAE to neighbouring Chad only last August.
They quickly appeared in the hands of the RSF militia in its assault on Nyala.

Abdulrahim Dagalo, 2nd in command of the RSF, was seen driving in a brand-new armoured Toyota pick up truck not previously know to be in use by the RSF.
A UAE company located in Dubai called “Harrow Security Vehicles” is ultimately the likely the origin of this vehicle.

The UAE’s support to the RSF militia has not been without controversy.
In this viral video, Chadian Zaghawa tribe spokesperson Abdulrahman Haggar denounced UAE support to the RSF.
He then burnt the UAE flag and threatened that they will “expel” the UAE from Amdjarass airport.

Recently emerging evidence suggests that the UAE might try to deliver weapons directly into Sudan via Zurug.
Satellite images of Zurug show what appears to be brand new trenches and fortifications being built.

🇱🇾The UAE also funnels support to the RSF through Libya.
The Libyan Warlord Khalifa Haftar is backed by the UAE and hence can be relied upon to facilitate their weapon and fuel supplies to the RSF.

RSF militiamen receive training by Haftar’s Salafist “Subul al-Salam Brigade” in Kufra. Training takes place under the directives of Emirati and Wagner officers and includes the use of drones.
The group also facilities fuel shipments to the RSF.

Earlier on in the conflict, another investigation by “Africa Intelligence” had also gathered evidence of convoys of petrol and arms heading through Subul Al-Salam territory in south-eastern Libya towards the border with Sudan.
RSF militiamen have even been spotted in videos driving around in Toyotas displaying emblems and paint jobs that clearly identify them as originally belonging to Haftar’s forces in Libya.
In light of the UAE’s dirty role facilitating the RSF militia’s atrocities against the Sudanese people, many activists have taken to using hashtags such as:
#UAEKillsSudanesePeople
#UAESponsorsTerrorism
To speak out against the UAE’s support to the militia.
