By
Democracy Now!
Summary
A new investigation reveals that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is secretly backing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan through a network of military training camps, logistics, and financial support. Journalist Julia Steers describes the conflict not as a civil war but as a proxy war enabled by UAE backing. The investigation is a collaboration between Lighthouse Reports, Evident, Sudan War Monitor, and Der Spiegel. Meanwhile, the UN warns of a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in El Obeid, North Kordofan, as RSF and Sudanese army forces battle for control.
