The Spin

There is irrefutable evidence that the UAE is dangerously escalating the war in Sudan by hiring Colombian mercenaries to support the rebel RSF. By bringing foreign fighters to Sudan, the UAE risks transforming this conflict into a transnational proxy war that would threaten the entire region. Sudan will bring these crimes to the UNU.N.'s attention to preserve wider stability.

These allegations are a desperate attempt by the Port Sudan Authority to deflect responsibility for prolonging a devastating civil war. Similar claims, designed to derail peace efforts, have already been dismissed by international courts for lacking credible evidence. Nevertheless, the UAE remains committed to supporting a peaceful and lasting resolution to the conflict.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 60.9% chance that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) will come out as the victor in the Sudanese civil war, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
