Phone Tracking Data Links Colombian Mercenaries to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces

Date:

A digital investigation utilizing mobile phone tracking data has identified former Colombian soldiers operating alongside the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. The report indicates that these mercenaries were recruited for their extensive combat experience and transported to RSF-controlled areas, often traveling through the United Arab Emirates. This development highlights the increasing internationalization of the Sudanese civil war, as foreign combatants are being integrated into the power struggle between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces.

  • Digital forensic analysis of phone signals placed former Colombian military personnel at multiple RSF bases and strategic locations within Sudan.
  • The investigation suggests the mercenaries traveled through international transit hubs, including Dubai, before reaching the conflict zone.
  • Colombian veterans are frequently targeted for international recruitment due to their specialized experience in counter-insurgency and urban warfare.
  • The presence of foreign fighters marks a significant escalation in the conflict that began in April 2023 between rival military factions.
  • International observers have expressed concern that the use of foreign mercenaries may further complicate peace efforts and prolong the humanitarian crisis in the region.

  1. It has been evident that the UAE has been arming the RSF for some time now and that UK arms have been used by the RSF too, whether the arms were transferred directly or indirectly, we have become complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity, but that seems to be the standard we set these days.

    Mildly worded condemnations and a polite request to not commit war crimes and crimes against humanity is all any PM ever does. We have often shown more gusto in punishing criticism of the war crimes and crimes against humanity.

    Our government needs to grow a flicking spine.

  2. So if it's rich governments it's war and genocide, but if it's poor people it's just a humanitarian crisis and the soldiers are mercenaries and paramilitaries definitely not sent by governments. Gross.

  3. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is exploiting the anxieties of Colombian veterans about their future careers by posting fake job advertisements on WhatsApp to lure them into military training within the UAE. After their passports are confiscated, they are sent to the front lines in Sudan via Libya and Somalia. The Sudan Rapid Deployment Force and the UAE government are colluding to profit from the trafficking of Colombians. Once sent to Sudan, they can never return home.
