Leaked UN report 'establishes conclusively' that UAE hired Colombian mercenaries for Sudan's RSF

A confidential report by United Nations investigators “establishes conclusively” that the United Arab Emirates hired Colombian mercenaries to fight for Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The report, submitted to the UN Security Council last week and obtained by Middle East Eye, details how Global Security Services Group (GSSG), a UAE-based company with close ties to the government, moved the Colombians into Sudan through Libya, Somalia and Chad, where Emirati proxies control large swathes of territory.

The UN investigators also demonstrate that “the UAE-linked Puntland Maritime Police Force (PMPF) base in Bosaso, Somalia, has been used as a site of transit and/or training for Colombian mercenaries prior to their deployment to Sudan”.
