UAE refutes claims of supplying Sudan paramilitaries with Chinese arms

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has once again denied allegations of providing Chinese arms to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. The RSF, a paramilitary group led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has been accused of committing human rights abuses and atrocities in the conflict with Sudan’s military rulers. Despite mounting evidence and international pressure, Abu Dhabi has consistently rejected claims of arming the RSF. The UAE maintains that it is not involved in supplying weapons to any armed groups in Sudan and is committed to supporting peace and stability in the region. The denial comes as the United Nations continues to investigate reports of arms shipments from the UAE to the RSF, raising concerns about the impact of foreign intervention in Sudan’s volatile political situation. The UAE’s stance on the issue has sparked criticism from human rights organizations and advocacy groups, who have called for greater transparency and accountability in arms sales to conflict zones. The controversy underscores the challenges of regulating arms transfers and ensuring compliance with international arms control agreements. As pressure mounts on the UAE to address the allegations, the country faces growing scrutiny over its role in the conflict in Sudan and its impact on the wider region.
