Emirati, Israeli and far-right influencers 'invented Christian killings in Sudan', report says

A new report from a Sudanese investigative platform found that Emirati, Israeli, and far-right social media accounts ran a coordinated disinformation campaign. The campaign falsely claimed that Islamists were killing Christians in Sudan following the seizure of el-Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). According to the investigation, the objectives were to shift blame for atrocities away from the RSF, reframe the war as a religious conflict to elicit foreign sympathy, and confuse media coverage. The report identified an Emirati analyst as the architect of the campaign, whose false claims were then amplified by other accounts.
