"The Sentry's findings revealed the UAE provides a safe haven for the RSF leadership's family and wealth, much of which is believed to come from gold smuggled out of Sudan."
"Hemedti seized control of Darfur's largest goldmine in 2017, with exports enabling him and his family to accumulate significant assets."

The leadership of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, linked to genocide, has amassed over 20 luxury properties in Dubai worth 17.7 million. This wealth is largely derived from gold smuggled out of Sudan, where a devastating war has left 33 million people in need of aid. The UAE serves as a safe haven for the RSF leadership, allowing them to convert smuggled gold into hard currency. The Gulf state is accused of supporting the RSF with weapons and mercenaries, facilitating their paramilitary-industrial complex.
