Exclusive: Inside the UAE's secret Sudan war operation at Somalia's Bosaso

The United Arab Emirates is secretly using the port and airport in Bosaso, Somalia, as a critical hub to supply Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Frequent cargo flights and ships deliver undisclosed materials, including weapons and logistics marked as "hazardous," which are immediately transferred to other aircraft destined for Sudan. This vast operation is shrouded in secrecy, with Emirati-funded local forces providing heavy security to cordon off the area during transfers. This vital support from the UAE is directly enabling the RSF's military campaign, which has been linked to massacres and atrocities in el-Fasher.
