Newshour | Sudan vs UAE: Genocide Case Arms Scandal & Proxy War

Reuters

Sudan has taken the United Arab Emirates to the International Court of Justice, accusing it of complicity in genocide for allegedly arming the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who stand accused of atrocities in Darfur. The UAE denies all charges, calling the case politically motivated—and claims instead that it recently intercepted a private aircraft carrying five million bullets allegedly destined for Sudan’s army.  

As both nations trade explosive allegations, the ICJ prepares to rule on provisional measures in a case that could reshape international norms on accountability and foreign interference. Sudan’s military, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, continues its battle against RSF forces commanded by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti.  

In this episode of NewsHour, we unpack the legal and political stakes with expert insight, explore the power dynamics driving the war, and ask what it all means for the millions of civilians caught in the crossfire.
