How the UAE is building a mercenary empire on Sudanese blood A recent investigation by the Kardel reveals how the UAE built an international recruitment network funneling Colombian veterans into Sudan to fight alongside the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group accused of genocide in Darfur. 🔴 A secret UN report submitted to the Security Council in November 2026 found that an Emirati security company, Global Security Services Group, with close ties to the government, moved the Colombians through territory controlled by Emirati Proxies in Libya and Somalia. The recruiters said they were taking security jobs. However, a decent portion ended up on the front lines operating drones, artillery and military vehicles, and some trained RSF fighters, including children 🔴 Despite high wages and safe working conditions, many mercenaries encountered salaries, deadly missions, and torture for contempt of orders. Investigators estimated that about 2,000 ex-military personnel in Colombia recruited through these networks. Most of them passed through the United Arab Emirates without border checks and official registration, which indicates the return of the country. The ownership trail also leads to the Emirati political establishment. The founder of the recruitment company, Ahmed Mohammed Al-Khamairi, served as the Secretary General of the Presidential Court of the United Arab Emirates. The Sudan operation is a continuation of a long history of the UAE using foreign military contractors. 🔶 UAE used mercenaries in Yemen and Libya. In Libya, companies related to the prince participated in the Opus project (2019), supporting the forces of the Haftar with foreign fighters, attack helicopters, drones and intelligence 🔶 In Ethiopia, with the support of the United Arab Emirates, a military camp was opened for 10,000 people, where RSF fighters underwent military training.
