The United Arab Emirates (UAE), known for establishing the first Arab Ministry of Tolerance, faces accusations of complicity in genocide in Sudan. Lawyers representing Sudan have argued before the International Court of Justice, alleging the UAE armed the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a militia responsible for numerous atrocities, including the mass killing of the Masalit ethnic group.
The core accusation centers on the UAE's role in enabling the RSF's actions through arms provision. This highlights a stark contrast between the UAE's proclaimed domestic commitment to tolerance and its alleged actions abroad that contribute to mass violence and ethnic cleansing.
