Thousands were massacred in Sudan last week — the carnage in El Fasher was
so massive it could be seen from space.
British-made weapons, smuggled in by the UAE, made this horror possible.
We can stop the bloodshed in Sudan for good:
Demand an immediate ban on UK arms exports to the UAE.

John,
RSF paramilitaries just murdered 460 patients, families, and medical staff
in a maternity hospital in Darfur, in western Sudan. This is the latest
horror in Sudan’s two-year genocidal war which has seen 150,000 people
massacred and 12 million displaced.
Experts say that the United Arab Emirates is smuggling weapons to the
paramilitaries – and a new report reveals it includes equipment originally
from the UK.
The UK government is clearly hoping that the lack of public attention on
the genocide in Sudan will mean their and the UK arms industries’
involvement will fly under the radar. But if tens of thousands of us shine
a spotlight on the UK government’s enabling of this horrific violence, we
can force them to cancel these exports.

New information shows that on 27 September 2024 – after the UN Security
Council received images alleging the presence of a type of small-arms
equipment in Sudan which is categorised as ‘ML14’ – the UK government
issued an “open individual export licence” for this same category of
products to be shipped to the UAE.
These types of licences allow unlimited amounts to be exported with no
obligation to monitor where it ends up. Experts point out that UK and
treaty law requires the government NOT to authorise arms exports where
they might be used in international crimes.
This reckless and potentially illegal move by the UK government is pouring
fuel on this appalling humanitarian tragedy. But if this incredible
community comes together to hold the UK government to account, we can
demand that these deadly arms sales are cancelled.
