The more we dig into Dubai real estate, the more links we find to Sudan’s brutal Rapid Support Forces. We’ve released new evidence that a network of family members, sanctioned individuals, and entities linked to the leadership of the RSF owns a $24 million real estate portfolio in Dubai consisting of over 20 properties. This is the fourth report by The Sentry that documents financial and operational links between the RSF and its leadership, namely the Dagalo family, and the UAE. thesentry.org/reports/24m-pr…

This is illegal. Israeli military forces raided and damaged civilian ships on a humanitarian mission in international waters, and have taken 175 civilians into military detention. This isn't an isolated incident, but part of a broader pattern of blocking humanitarian aid. War never justifies denying life-saving aid, but that’s what Israel is doing in Gaza. The American people are tired of it and Congress must act.

20+ properties worth over $24 million. Our latest report reveals new evidence of the real estate portfolio in Dubai linked to the leadership of the brutal RSF militia. Why does it matter?

This 5 year old girl lost her father in the Key Bridge collapse & now ICE is deporting her mother. Trump’s ICE operation is going after the weakest, not the worst. This is the kind of inhumanity we must end.  thebanner.com/politics-power…

Today marks 3 years of civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces & the genocidal RSF, which has killed thousands of Sudanese civilians, left millions starving & displaced, & led to untold levels of sexual violence against women & girls.   We must pass mine & @RepSaraJacobs bill to halt arms sales to the UAE, until we verify they're no longer arming the RSF. The US must use its leverage to help end this horror. france24.com/en/africa/2026…

Today marks the 3rd year of the Sudan civil war and genocide. Tens of thousands have been killed. Hundreds of thousands have starved. Millions have been displaced. The UAE and arms dealers to the RSF and RSF-aligned militias must be held accountable.
