UN Security Council to discuss Sudan’s complaint of UAE backing RSF
The United Nations Security Council is set to convene on Monday to discuss a formal complaint lodged by Sudan against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), alleging acts of aggression, according to Sudan Tribune.
The plea entails holding the UAE legally and criminally accountable for alleged support to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which have been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity after the outbreak of war against the Sudanese army in April 2023.
Despite the UAE’s denial of support for the RSF forces, reports persistently indicate ongoing assistance channelled through Chad, corroborated by findings from United Nations experts and multiple press outlets.
International pressure mounts on the UAE to terminate its backing of the paramilitary forces. Media coverage detailing such support has tarnished the UAE’s reputation due to the alleged war crimes perpetrated by the paramilitary forces.
