KHARTOUM – Sudan said it has completed the legal framework for pursuing international cases against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), saying the files are based on evidence and documentation related to alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

Justice Minister Abdallah Draf, who heads the government’s committee overseeing international legal proceedings against the RSF and countries it accuses of supporting the group, made the announcement during a visit on Thursday to an exhibition of weapons that Sudanese authorities said had been seized from RSF forces.

According to the Justice Ministry, the exhibition includes loitering and long-range drones, as well as a range of military equipment that authorities say will form part of the evidence submitted in future legal proceedings.

Draf said legal experts from the ministry and external specialists had completed the legal dossiers, which include allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, as well as accusations of supplying the RSF with weapons, training and foreign fighters in violation of international agreements.

He said markings on many of the seized weapons indicate they were manufactured between 2023 and 2025, alleging that documentation associated with the equipment identifies Abu Dhabi as the “end user.” He said Sudan intends to present the evidence before international judicial bodies.

The minister accused the UAE of continuing to provide military support to the RSF, arguing that such support has prolonged the conflict and contributed to violations against civilians. He called on the U.N. Security Council and the international community to take steps to halt the flow of weapons to the paramilitary group.

Draf also welcomed what he described as references in the European Parliament’s recent resolution on Sudan concerning the role of the UAE, saying they supported Sudan’s efforts to pursue accountability through international courts.

The UAE has repeatedly denied supplying weapons or military support to the RSF, describing Sudan’s allegations as unfounded.

Since the outbreak of the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF in April 2023, Sudan has repeatedly accused the UAE of backing the paramilitary group. Similar allegations have also been raised in reports by U.N. experts, as well as investigations by international media and human rights organizations, although Abu Dhabi has consistently rejected the accusations.

Earlier this year, Sudan filed a case against the UAE before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of violating the Genocide Convention through alleged support for the RSF. In May 2025, the Court declined to proceed with the case, ruling that it lacked jurisdiction because of the UAE’s reservation to Article IX of the Convention. The decision did not determine whether the allegations themselves were true or false.
