Phone tracking shows how Colombian mercenaries backed Sudan's RSF - report

An investigation by the Conflict Insights Group using phone tracking data has revealed that a network of Colombian mercenaries backed by the UAE provided critical support to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), enabling the capture of el-Fasher last year. The research tracked more than 50 mobile phones of Colombian fighters between April 2025 and January 2026, showing them operating from UAE military facilities before deploying to Sudan. The UAE has long denied supporting the RSF, but the report provides what it calls the first definitive proof of direct involvement. The fall of el-Fasher was accompanied by mass atrocities assessed as war crimes and crimes against humanity.
