In Chad, I spoke to many people who escaped al-Fashir. Again and again, I heard stories about RSF fighters separating young children and putting them in the back of vehicles. I started to ask specifically about this, looking for more witnesses and for people who knew the children who had been taken. This is that story: reuters.com/world/africa/sud…

Last year we noticed data showing enormous increases in gold exports from Africa to the UAE, particularly from countries adjacent to war zones in places like Congo & Sudan. Since then we've been flying around the world to follow the supply chain & crunching the numbers 🧵

I've just finished a new investigation, and it's a biggie!

Curious, I started to dig.
The subsequent journey took me to Hong Kong, North Macedonia, Brussels, New Jersey, Israel and Dubai, Sudan and three other websites.

New investigation shows how Libya has become a weapons trafficking and training hub for the RSF, who are committing horrific acts in Sudan, with the backing of the UAE.
Extremely important work by @JCSteers @LHreports @sudanwarmonitor and Evident Media.

Devices carried by Colombian mercenaries were tracked moving from Colombia to Sudan, via UAE, Somalia, Chad and Libya, placing them in El Fasher during the RSF's violent takeover last October.
New report from @just1nlynch at CIG shows how they got there and what they did.

Analysis by @ntabrizy and myself for @newlinesmag reveals that the U.S.-Israeli coalition has employed so-called double tap strikes, showing a callous disregard for civilians and a pattern of airstrikes seeking to inflict reckless harm on Iranians.

A new report by the Darfur Network for Human Rights describes how the RSF kept survivors captive in al-Fashir, in some cases in metal containers underground, demanding ransoms. The report also confirms our reporting in January that the RSF has used children as slaves, for forced labor: dnhr.org/2026/03/31/rsf-dete…
