How many massacres will it take in Sudan before France breaks its silence over the United Arab Emirates' support for the Rapid Support Forces ? Three years after the start of the conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese military, the prospect of fresh mass atrocities is looming.
The French government’s silence is all the more deafening given that French military equipment — the Galix, a passive defense system manufactured by the French company Lacroix Défense in collaboration with Nexter, fitted to an armored vehicle made by Edge Group, an Emirati state-owned company — has ended up in the hands of the RSF, even though the terms of its sale for the benefit of the Emirati military expressly prohibited re-export to third parties.
