UN Report Links Boeing Aircraft to RSF Drone Transport image

A draft UN Panel of Experts report says Boeing 727 aircraft operating from N'Djamena, Chad, were used to move RSF fighters, foreign mercenaries, drones, weapons, and other equipment into Darfur. The reported N'Djamena-Nyala corridor supported operations around the RSF logistics hub in Nyala, with some flights allegedly avoiding conventional tracking and arriving at night. The findings intensify scrutiny of external logistics networks supporting Sudan's civil war, though Contractor Airways, the UAE-linked security company cited, and Chad have disputed or denied key allegations.
