The attack, which left at least 40 dead, is the latest in a series of accusations by Sudan’s military that the UAE is arming its paramilitary rivals
Sudan’s air force has destroyed an Emirati aircraft carrying Colombian mercenaries as it landed at a paramilitary-controlled airport in Darfur, killing at least 40 people, the army-aligned state TV said Wednesday.
A military source, speaking to Agence France-Presse on condition of anonymity, said the UAE plane “was bombed and completely destroyed” at Darfur’s Nyala airport.
The airport has recently come under repeated air strikes by the Sudanese army, at war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023.
