The findings raise concerns about foreign involvement in the conflict and its impact on regional stability.
According to the report, Colombian mercenaries were deployed in several key areas, including Khartoum, Omdurman, and the regions of Darfur and Kordofan. The experts said the fighters played active combat roles, operating drones, artillery, and armored vehicles for the Rapid Support Forces.
The panel also stated that the mercenaries participated directly in attacks, underscoring the extent of foreign participation in Sudan's conflict. The allegations add to growing scrutiny over external support provided to armed groups involved in the war.
