Allegations of UAE involvement in Sudan conflict

Overview

The United Arab Emirates faces ongoing international scrutiny regarding its alleged involvement in the Sudanese conflict. In August 2026, UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was confronted in London by an individual accusing the UAE of involvement in the war, shouting, “Stop killing my people.”

While the UAE has denied supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), international bodies such as the United Nations and the United States have documented alleged arms transfers to the group. By September 2026, Human Rights Watch urged German officials to address these allegations during a meeting with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Berlin. The advocacy follows reports from a UN Fact-Finding Mission alleging that entities linked to the UAE provided military-related support and financing to the RSF.
