Guardian report examines UAE arms flows to Sudan RSF and UK ties
The segment investigates weapons smuggling routes into Sudan’s civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since 2023. It details a reported UAE airbridge using cargo planes to Chad for onward smuggling to the RSF, gold flows to Dubai, and advanced weaponry appearing on battlefields. The broadcast highlights the UK’s role as UN Security Council penholder and former colonial power, accusing it of favoring economic relations with the UAE—including arms export approvals—over confronting alleged RSF support. It references the April 2025 Zam Zam camp attack, subsequent El Fasher violence, internal UK documents on limited atrocity prevention, and recovered UK-origin equipment at RSF sites.
