Foreign mercenaries and protests in Sudan

A UN mission has reported that the recruitment of foreign fighters and the influx of external support are contributing to the escalation of the war in Sudan, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 200,000 people and the displacement of over 12 million Sudanese since the conflict began in April 2023. Investigations have revealed the involvement of up to 2,000 former soldiers from the Colombian army alongside Rapid Support Forces troops, while Khartoum has accused the UAE of sending Colombian fighters, a claim Abu Dhabi denies. Reports also indicated that the Sudanese army has used drones from external sources, and severe human rights violations have occurred, including crimes considered characteristic of genocide. These allegations include the transfer of weapons and fighters across multiple countries, as well as rising conflicts along the borders with Chad and Ethiopia. The United States has proposed expanding the arms embargo to include the entire country in an effort to limit the regional expansion of the war.
