A new investigation has uncovered a network of training camps and supply routes in Libya that are actively sustaining the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan’s ongoing civil war.
The report, published by Dabanga Sudan, details how these logistical hubs are fueling the conflict, with researchers describing their findings as merely the "tip of the iceberg."
The United Arab Emirates is widely accused of playing a pivotal role in sustaining the war effort, according to the report.
While the UAE has previously denied direct involvement in the conflict, the new evidence highlights the complexity of the supply chains and the difficulty of tracing the origin of military support reaching the RSF.
This development adds a new layer of geopolitical risk to the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea region.
The UN Security Council has previously expressed alarm over substantial military reinforcements by the RSF around El Obeid, warning of the potential for further escalation.
The confirmation of Libyan-based logistics suggests the conflict is increasingly regionalized, with implications for shipping security and trade routes in the Mediterranean and Red Sea.
