UN Report Details Foreign Networks Fueling War in Sudan – WTOP News
The report says foreign networks supplied the RSF with weapons, training and drones, deepening a war that has killed 59,000 people.
- On Thursday, The United Nations released a report linking foreign networks to Sudan's war, which has killed at least 59,000 people and displaced 13 million since 2023.
- Mona Rishmawi, an expert member of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission, identified "a transnational chain of networks spanning several countries" that supplied the RSF with foreign personnel, training, weapons, and logistics.
- The mission documented the deployment of up to 2,000 former Colombian military contractors operating drones and advanced weapons alongside RSF units in Darfur and Kordofan, while foreign-supplied drones expanded the Sudanese army's capabilities.
- Mohamad Chande Othman, Chair of the Fact-Finding Mission, urged the Security Council to extend the arms embargo to all of Sudan, noting that while Chad and Colombia cooperated, others provided "no substantive response."
- The report emphasizes "strict international legal obligations" for states to investigate illicit networks, as protecting civilians in Sudan requires action against the individuals and entities enabling the war's continuation.
