Rapid Support Forces (RSF)

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is a Sudanese paramilitary group currently engaged in a protracted conflict that has entered its fourth year. The RSF is accused of human rights violations, including a recent drone strike in Khartoum that killed five civilians. Investigations reveal a vast property portfolio in Dubai linked to RSF leadership, suggesting a "paramilitary-industrial complex" across Africa and the Middle East. Mercenaries, including Colombians, have reportedly been backed by the RSF, with evidence pointing to UAE military facilities as staging grounds. The ongoing war has devastated Sudan's infrastructure, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis with millions displaced and facing famine. Despite international pledges of aid, the conflict remains at a military impasse between the RSF and the Sudanese army, exacerbating the suffering of the Sudanese population.
