Fighting in Sudan continues between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with reports highlighting both military movements and allegations of external involvement. Human rights organizations say the United Arab Emirates (UAE) supports the RSF, citing a series of high-profile defections in which individuals linked to the RSF move to the Sudanese Armed Forces. The DW reports that the UAE denies these claims of support for the RSF and also addresses allegations involving foreign recruits, including Colombian nationals. While the sources focus on the dispute over external backing, both accounts emphasize the ongoing impact on civilians. The civilian population continues to face serious harm amid the conflict, according to the reports. The situation remains fluid as defections and claims of foreign support are contested, while the fighting persists. The UAE’s denial directly counters the accusations by human rights groups, and the reported defections underscore the level of volatility within armed factions.
