Iran and the United Arab Emirates have been accused of violating a UN arms embargo by supplying drones to the warring sides of the Sudan civil war.

A BBC investigation has documented the Sudanese Army's use of types of Iranian drones in its war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Evidence has also emerged that the RSF received modified commercial drones from the UAE.

Foreign-made drones prominently changed the course of the war on the ground since their appearance in 2023.

Sudan's armed forces have been fighting the RSF for the last 14 months.

The BBC has contacted the Sudanese army, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Qeshm Fars Air to comment on the allegations that Iranian drones are being used in the conflict but has not had a response.

Ibrahim Traore Sends Strong Warnings To Ghana’s President For Fasle Accusations.

When the west is unable to control an African leader, their strategy often involves using another African leader, typically one they have purchased, against the leader they despise. They manipulate the purchased leader to place blame on the leader they couldn't buy, aiming to portray them as unfit for Africa through false accusations.

However, the truth cannot be concealed. In the case of Ghana's president accusing Burkina Faso of terrorism, the leader of Burkina Faso provided evidence of the innocence and revealed the reality. The question arises, why did Ghana's president align himself with the west?

During the US African leader summit, Ghana's president, Nana Akufo -Ado, asserted that Burkina Faso's military administration had formed an alliance with Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group. Akufo -Ado claimed that these mercenaries were enlisted to counter -insurgency activities within Burkina Faso's borders.
