A classified UN report reveals that a security firm linked to the United Arab Emirates recruited Colombian mercenaries to fight alongside Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which is accused of committing genocide. Reports indicate that the fighters were trained in Abu Dhabi and deployed to Sudan via Libya and Somalia, where they provided support through UAVs, artillery and training. These findings increased the scrutiny of the Emirati diplomat, Lana Nusayeva, to be the UN secretary, in light of her role in denying the involvement of the United Arab Emirates in Sudan.
