“Sudan has filed a case against the United Arab Emirates arguing that the Gulf state is complicit in genocide over its alleged support for Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the International Court of Justice announced Thursday. Khartoum contends the UAE is ‘complicit in the genocide on the Masalit (community in Sudan) through its direction of and provision of extensive financial, political, and military support for the rebel RSF militia,’ the ICJ said in a statement. ‘The United Arab Emirates fuels the rebellion and supports the militia that has committed the crime of genocide in West Darfur,’ the Sudan submission to the court said. The UAE has repeatedly denied supporting the RSF.” (03/06/25)
