Leaked UN experts report raises fresh concerns over UAE’s role in Sudan war

**Summary:** - Pressure mounts on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over its alleged role in arming Sudanese paramilitaries via Chad amid a leaked UN report detailing suspicious cargo flights from UAE to Chad, possibly transporting weapons. - UAE denies these allegations and has been invited by the UK for peace talks on Sudan's civil war anniversary. - The leaked UN report, seen by the Guardian, highlights a "new regional air bridge" of cargo flights from UAE to Chad, with planes disappearing from radars during crucial moments, raising suspicions of covert operations. - Despite these findings, the final UN expert panel report does not mention UAE in relation to weapon transfers, citing lack of conclusive evidence. - Recent violence in Sudan, where paramilitary forces killed over 200 civilians, has raised concerns about the UK's decision to host UAE for peace talks. - The case is further complicated by an ongoing ICJ hearing on UAE's alleged complicity in genocide during the conflict.
