It documented a consistent pattern of Il-76TD cargo flights from the UAE to Chad, where at least three land routes were identified for transporting weapons into neighboring Sudan.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">The researchers found that air cargo flights from UAE airports to Chad were so regular they created a &#8220;new regional air bridge.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">The flights displayed unusual characteristics, often disappearing during &#8220;critical parts&#8221; of their journey, a pattern the experts said &#8220;raises questions about potential covert operations.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">However, the experts added they could not confirm what the planes were carrying or provide any evidence that the planes were transporting weapons.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">The final report by the UN experts on Sudan, which is set to be released soon, does not mention the findings of multiple cargo flights from the UAE to Chad. The UAE is only mentioned in relation to peace talks in the 39-page expert report.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">Questions about the alleged role of the UAE in supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group, arose after a weekend in which RSF fighters killed more than 200 civilians in a wave of violence targeting vulnerable ethnic groups in displacement camps and around the city of El Fasher, the last major city still under the control of Sudan\u2019s military in Darfur, the vast western region of Sudan.
