Paris rally denounces genocide in Sudan, UAE complicity
At the Champ de Mars in Paris, just beneath the Eiffel Tower, chants of "Stop Genocide in Sudan" echoed through the crowd.
Hundreds gathered to condemn the atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group accused of carrying out mass killings and forced displacements in Sudan, and to denounce the complicity of foreign powers, particularly the United Arab Emirates.
The demonstration organized by Sudanese associations, such as 'Sound of Sudan', brought together members of the diaspora, activists and human rights defenders.
They called on France and the international community to take concrete action, not just issue statements of concern, as the humanitarian crisis deepens day by day.
Who is behind all this? It's the United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Abu Dhabi; they are the ones funding this conflict.
It's been going on for years.
They buy Western weapons and supply them to the militias. They even recruit mercenaries to fight.
So in the end, they're the intermediaries, the ones whose hands are covered in blood. Without their money and their weapons, this genocide wouldn't be possible.

While the world's attention remains focused on other conflicts, the situation in Sudan is deteriorating rapidly.
Villages have been burned to the ground, hospitals destroyed, and millions forced to flee their homes.
Today, we are gathered here to talk about what is happening in Sudan.
We are facing the world's biggest humanitarian crisis. We are here at the Champ de Mars with many people from the Sudanese community to make sure no one forgets what's going on.
The UAE is delivering weapons to the 'Rapid Support Forces', making this war not only deadly but profitable.
It's heartbreaking; this conflict has become both forgotten and lucrative.
We must keep speaking up and urge international institutions to act before it's too late.

Protesters demanded that France and the European Union immediately suspend all arms exports to the Emirates and impose sanctions on entities linked to the RSF and their financial networks.
At the base of the Eiffel Tower, demonstrators held a minute of silence for the victims in Darfur and across Sudan.
They vowed to continue mobilizing until justice is achieved, calling on the world not to look away as the genocide unfolds.
