Congress Must Halt the Flow of Weapons Fueling Genocide in Sudan
Last Updated on December 4, 2025.
Washington – Win Without War Executive Director Sara Haghdoosti made the following statement in response to reports of escalating mass killings committed by the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces rebel group in Darfur:
“We are horrified by reports of mass killings in Darfur, which represents only the latest atrocity in a brutal civil war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. This violence has been prolonged by the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) rebel group, which has been accused of genocide by both local organizations and the U.S. State Department and carried out the killings that made headlines this week.
“Despite the atrocities fueled by Emirati weapons pouring into Sudan, the Trump and Biden administrations have shamefully avoided pressuring the UAE, which itself relies on American weaponry and security guarantees, to end support for the RSF.
“We call upon Congress and President Trump to use their leverage now to end UAE support for the killings in Sudan.”
