The comprehensive report submitted by the Sudanese government to the Security Council included documents with copies of passports of Emirati officials engaged in relief and humanitarian work.
Among the names mentioned in the Sudanese report is Khalid Abdulwahab Mustafa Ayaz, also known as Khalid Abdulwahab Al-Khaja, appointed by the Ruler of Ajman in December 2020 as the Secretary-General of the Global Charity Organization. Other Emirati names include Obeida Hamad Suhail Obeida Al-Khaili from Al Ain, Mohammed Abdulrahman Mohammed Zakaria Al-Janahi from Dubai, and Abdullah Salem Abdullah Salem Al-Kalbani from Dubai.
Additionally, the report included images of two Yemeni passports, one belonging to Khalid Saleh Ahmed and the other to Mohammed Naji Mohsen, born in Dubai.
According to the Sudanese documents, these passport images were found in a combat vehicle involved in a traffic accident between the regions of Al-Jarif and Umm Dum in Sudan in January 2024. The documents accuse these individuals of exploiting charitable work for acts of sabotage, destruction, espionage, and interference in the country's affairs by participating as experts with the Rapid Support Forces funded by Abu Dhabi.
A verbal confrontation occurred on Tuesday, June 18, between UAE representative Mohammed Abu Shihab and his Sudanese counterpart Harith Idris during a UN Security Council meeting in New York to discuss the situation in Sudan. The Sudanese representative reiterated his country's accusations against Abu Dhabi for supporting the Rapid Support Forces with weapons, claiming that his country possesses evidence of such support.
Idris stated that "Abu Dhabi sponsors systematic and ethnic terrorism in Sudan, providing weapons to the Rapid Support Forces through Chad, southern Libya, and the Central African Republic." He added that these forces deliberately and systematically attack villages and towns, urging the Security Council to condemn Abu Dhabi and for the UAE to withdraw from Sudan to restore stability.
The Sudanese government's official accusations of Abu Dhabi exploiting humanitarian and relief efforts to further its agendas have been corroborated by American and Western reports. From Libya, Chad, and Uganda, Abu Dhabi has maintained open support lines for the Rapid Support Forces, aiming to perpetuate the internal conflict in Sudan.
In August 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported that Abu Dhabi provided military support to the Rapid Support Forces led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as "Hemedti." The report revealed that an Emirati cargo plane landed at a Ugandan airport in early June, supposedly carrying humanitarian aid but actually transporting weapons and ammunition for Sudanese refugees.
The American newspaper, citing Ugandan officials, reported that the Emirati plane was later allowed to continue its journey to Um Jaras airport in eastern Chad. The officials confirmed they had received orders from their superiors to cease inspecting flights from the UAE and were warned against photographing these planes.
The Wall Street Journal stated that Abu Dhabi supports the Rapid Support Forces to protect its interests in Sudan, including benefiting from its strategic location on the Red Sea and Nile River, and accessing Sudan's vast gold reserves. The UAE's interests in Sudan also include extensive agricultural lands and a stake in a planned $6 billion Red Sea port.
A month later, The New York Times (September 29, 2023) disclosed that Abu Dhabi was managing a covert operation to support the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan's escalating war under the guise of refugee rescue. The newspaper reported that Abu Dhabi supplied these forces with powerful weapons and drones, treated injured fighters, and airlifted severe cases to one of its military hospitals.
According to the newspaper, the operation is centered at an airport and hospital in a remote town across the Sudanese border in Chad, where Emirati cargo planes have landed almost daily since June. The evidence suggests that the UAE supports the Rapid Support Forces while claiming their operation on the Sudanese border is purely humanitarian.
UN monitors have previously accused Abu Dhabi of sending weapons, including drones, laser-guided bombs, and armored vehicles, to Libyan General Khalifa Haftar.
Regional and international reports have also exposed the involvement of the Emirates Red Crescent and Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation in suspicious activities under the banner of humanitarian work, conducting intelligence and military operations in Yemen since the onset of the Saudi-UAE-American coalition war.
