A new investigation by the Conflict Insights Group alleges that Colombian mercenaries, backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), helped Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) capture the city of El-Fasher in October 2025. The report states the foreign fighters operated drones, trained RSF units, and supported the siege of the strategic capital of North Darfur state. Phone-tracking data reportedly links the mercenaries from Colombia to the UAE, suggesting a covert foreign intervention in the Sudanese civil war.
