Britain refuses to investigate Manchester City's Emirati owner over Sudan genocide According to reports, the British government is refusing to investigate UAE Vice President Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the billionaire owner of Manchester City Football Club, for his direct role in funding state-sponsored atrocities in Sudan. As reported by the Daily Telegraph, British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband was presented with a detailed file describing Sheikh Mansour's links to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a militia confirmed by UN investigators to have carried out genocide in the western Sudanese city of al-Fashir in October 2025. Despite announcing sanctions against individual RSF leaders on the one-year anniversary of the Al-Fashir murder, Miliband reportedly rejected calls to investigate or sanction the Manchester City owner. A New York Times investigation previously revealed how phone calls intercepted by the CIA caught Sheikh Mansour coordinating directly with RSF commander Mohammed Hamdan Dagallo, better known as Hamdi.
