Sudan has filed a case at the International Criminal Justice (ICJ) against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accusing it of complicity in genocide by giving "direct support" to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The RSF is a rebranded name for the notorious Janjaweed militia, which is accused of engaging in several crimes in different parts of Sudan, such as West Darfur, South Kordofan, and Khartoum.
These violations include, but are not limited to, genocide, murder, theft of property, rape, forcible displacement, trespassing, vandalism of public properties, and violation of human rights.
Sudan has asked the ICJ to initiate proceedings against the UAE about a dispute concerning alleged violations by the UAE of its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide concerning the Masalit group in Sudan, most notably in West Darfur.
