Reuters and UN: Boeing aircraft ferrying mercenaries and arms to Sudan
A leaked United Nations report based on UN expert investigations reveals that Boeing 727 aircraft, linked to a military contractor subsidiary, have transported mercenaries, weapons, and drones for the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan. The findings indicate that these aircraft, which take measures to avoid detection, took off from airports in Chad and Nigeria, transferring fighters and weapons to Darfur via secret air corridors, despite no evidence found of sanctions imposed on the companies or individuals involved. The report also shows that Colombian and Syrian mercenaries, hired by Emirati companies, participated in combat operations and logistical support for the Rapid Support Forces, which are accused of committing genocide in Darfur since the outbreak of the Sudanese civil war in 2023. The report highlights illegal movements of these aircraft and notes that authorities in Chad and other concerned countries have not implemented effective monitoring measures. Ongoing investigations are examining violations of the arms embargo imposed since 2004 and the external roles supporting the Sudanese conflict.
