Boeings carried weapons for Sudanese paramilitary: UN
United Nations (UN) experts have found that Boeing 727s linked by Reuters to a United States (US) military contractor’s business network transported mercenaries, weapons and drones for Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to a draft UN report due to be published in September.
The UN report reviewed by Reuters was compiled by the Panel of Experts on the Sudan, a group mandated by the Security Council to monitor an arms embargo imposed on Darfur in 2004.
The findings provide additional important details about the role the aircraft played in supporting the RSF, the paramilitary force UN investigators have accused of committing genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region.
