UN Probes UAE Arms Transfers To RSF Militia In Sudan

Khartoum accuses the UAE of complicity in genocide for supporting the Rapid Support Forces militia in its war against the Sudanese army

A UN panel of experts is investigating how mortar rounds exported from Bulgaria to the UAE in 2019 ended up in the hands of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.

The investigation centers around 81 mm mortar rounds seized from an RSF convoy in Sudan's North Darfur region in November 2024.

Photos and videos posted online by pro-government militia members following the seizure clearly show the serial number on the mortars, which matches those that Bulgaria confirmed were exported to the UAE military. Bulgaria has stated that it has never authorized the re-export of the munitions to a third party, including Sudan. “We adamantly declare that the Bulgarian competent authority has not issued an export license for defense-related products to Sudan,” the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry told Reuters.

The UAE has denied accusations that it is fueling Sudan's conflict by arming the RSF, which has been engaged in a brutal war with the Sudanese army since 2023. The conflict has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions.

The UAE cited the most recent UN expert panel report, submitted to the Security Council in April, to defend its position. The report – still unpublished – documents the November seizure but does not attribute the origin of the weapons. However, correspondence between the UN panel and UAE officials suggests that the investigation into the Gulf country's possible involvement is ongoing.
