Sudan: Colombian Mercenaries Recruited by the UAE Aid Paramilitaries

According to a UN investigation, hundreds of former Colombian military personnel were allegedly recruited by private contractors linked to the United Arab Emirates to fight in Sudan alongside the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Investigators examined how the fighters were selected and trained, as well as the routes they took before arriving in the country. The RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, have been accused by human rights organizations of mass killings, sexual violence, and persecution of ethnic groups.
