    Sudan: Colombians Linked to Atrocities Trained in UAE Bases (Appeal or News Release, English)

    • == Abu Dhabi Should End All Military Support to Abusive RSF == * With apparent support from the UAE [https://www.hrw.org/middle-east/north-africa/united-arab-emirates], Colombian [https://www.hrw.org/americas/colombia] private military contractors have deployed toSudan [https://www.hrw.org/africa/sudan] to support the abusive Rapid Support Forces. […] * The deployment adds to evidence of UAE military support for the Rapid Support Forces, which have committed widespread atrocities in Sudan. * Other countries should push for investigations, capable of leading to sanctions, into all those, including UAE officials, against whom there is credible evidence of providing military assistance to the Rapid Support Forces. […] This is further evidence indicating that the UAE is assisting or otherwise substantially contributing to the Rapid Support Forces’ capacity to commitwar crimes. […] “The recruitment of Colombian private military contractors adds to a growing body of evidence that the UAE provides military support to the Rapid Support Forces, which have repeatedly carried out heinous atrocities in Sudan,” said Mausi Segun [https://www.hrw.org/about/people/mausi-segun], executive director of the Africa Division at Human Rights Watch. […] “Governments should publicly demand that the UAE stop supplying weapons, equipment, personnel, and other military support to the Rapid Support Forces.”
