US Withholds Pressure on UAE Over RSF Atrocities in El Fasher, as El Obeid Faces Same Fate
On July 1, 2026, Amnesty International published a report finding Rapid Support Forces (RSF) conduct in El Fasher, Sudan -- murder, forcible transfer, torture, rape, sexual slavery, and extermination -- 'relevant to the crime of genocide.' Five days earlier, Trump's Africa adviser Massad Boulos told the UN Security Council that Washington had 'urged' the RSF to stand down from an imminent assault on El Obeid, but the administration issued no new sanctions on the United Arab Emirates and made no formal demand that the UAE -- which continues arming and supplying mercenaries to the RSF -- halt its support. Reporting has tied this restraint to a $1.4 trillion UAE investment pledge in the United States.
