According to battlefield evidence and a report by an independent expert group, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Iran have fueled the civil war in Sudan by shipping arms to opposing sides. The report identified 32 flights from the UAE between June 2023 and May 2024 that were likely involved in delivering arms to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and munitions captured from the RSF had markings indicating they were produced by Serbia's state-owned Jugoimport-SDPR JP and sent to the UAE Armed Forces Joint Logistics Command before ending up in Sudan. The report also identified seven flights from Iran supplying the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and contained evidence that Iranian Mohajer-6 drones are in use by the SAF.
