Boeings carried weapons for Sudanese paramilitary, UN experts find
A satellite image shows two Boeing 727 aircraft, which Reuters found to be linked to companies controlled by a US veteran and part of a network identified by United Nations experts as transporting mercenaries, weapons and drones for Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, parked next to each other in the military section of the airport in N’Djamena, Chad, June 4, 2025.
United Nations experts have found that Boeing 727s linked by Reuters to a US military contractor's business network transported mercenaries, weapons and drones for Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, according to a draft UN report due to be published in September.
The findings provide additional important details about the role the aircraft played in supporting the RSF, the paramilitary force UN investigators have accused of committing genocide in Sudan's Darfur region.
