FairSquare’s new report examines the relationships linking Abu Dhabi to Reform UK and asks what those connections mean for accountability, including over Sudan. By TRN Team FairSquare, a London-based human rights organisation, has published a report examining the UAE’s relationships with Reform UK and the wider far right. Founded in 2019, the organisation investigates political repression, migrant-worker exploitation and abuses connected to sport. Its work follows the money, institutions and political decisions that allow abuses to continue. Its September 2026 report, Petropopulism: the UAE, Reform UK and the far-right, turns that scrutiny towards Britain. It traces political meetings, commercial interests…

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Türkiye have jointly called for an end to the illicit flow of weapons, mercenaries and foreign fighters into Sudan, while explicitly backing the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and national state institutions. For TRN, however, the central question is what comes next: will the declaration produce mechanisms capable of disrupting the networks that continue to sustain the war? NEW YORK — 22 September 2026 The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Türkiye have issued one of their clearest joint statements yet on Sudan, rejecting parallel political structures and calling for an end to the…

NEW YORK Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and Türkiye Call for Halt to Illicit Flow of Arms, Mercenaries and Foreign Fighters into Sudan The foreign ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Republic of Türkiye held a consultative meeting in New York on 21 September 2026, on the sidelines of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly. During the meeting, the ministers exchanged views on the latest regional and international developments. They stressed the importance of continuing consultation and coordination among the four countries in a manner…

The Red Sea’s strategic importance is shaped not only by geography, trade and security, but also by how media select language, sources and narratives to explain competing political, commercial and humanitarian perspectives.

Inside the Recruitment, Finance and Logistics Network That Sent Military Specialists to Fight Alongside Sudan’s RSF Investigation status: 4 September 2026 The most important revelation in the latest United Nations investigation into Sudan is not simply that Colombian former soldiers have been fighting alongside the Rapid Support Forces. That is no longer seriously in doubt. The larger story is that what first appeared to involve several hundred foreign contractors increasingly resembles a repeatable transnational military manpower pipeline: recruiters in Colombia; replacement recruitment companies established when earlier entities attracted scrutiny; contracts and payroll routed through additional companies; movement through the United…

TRN INVESTIGATION | 1 September 2026 Satellite imagery, a rapidly expanding military logistics hub at Asosa, reported training activity near the Sudanese border, new drone infrastructure and repeated Sudanese claims of UAVs crossing from Ethiopia point toward a fundamental change in the Blue Nile conflict. The evidence increasingly suggests that western Ethiopia is functioning as an operational rear area for forces fighting the Sudanese Armed Forces. The harder question—and the one that now demands forensic investigation—is whether Ethiopian territory is also being used to launch, control and sustain the drone campaign itself. The question has changed The question surrounding Asosa…

TRN Investigation | 31 August 2026 For months, the war in Sudan’s Blue Nile State has usually been presented as another extension of Sudan’s internal conflict: the Rapid Support Forces and its Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North allies fighting the Sudanese Armed Forces. The evidence accumulating across the Ethiopian border increasingly makes that description inadequate. Satellite imagery, investigations by Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, reporting by Reuters, battlefield developments inside Blue Nile and Sudanese military reports about drones crossing from Ethiopian territory now reveal something much larger: a military-support infrastructure has been developing inside Ethiopia immediately behind the Blue Nile battlefield.…

Inside the Ethiopian Military Buildup Behind the RSF–SPLM-N Offensive Against Sudan’s Blue Nile Satellite imagery, months of documented military activity and accounts obtained by The Right Narrative point toward Asosa becoming a rear base for the war against Sudan The Right Narrative Investigation | 30 August 2026 However, for months, western Ethiopia’s remote Benishangul-Gumuz region (asosa) has been appearing with increasing frequency in reports about Sudan’s war. Now the evidence is becoming considerably harder to dismiss. Satellite imagery analysed by Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab has documented a dramatic concentration of military vehicles, cargo containers, transporters and other equipment inside…

Sudan today is not only under military attack. It is under digital, financial, and humanitarian siege—a quiet, systemic suffocation that operates behind the language of “sanctions,” “compliance,” and “platform policies.” What Sudanese people are experiencing is not accidental bureaucracy or collateral damage. It is shadow banning at scale, exercised through financial systems, humanitarian funding mechanisms, and social-media algorithms—while millions of civilians endure one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century. This is not neutrality. This is not law enforcement.This is modern neocolonial warfare. 1. Sanctions That Punish the Victims, Not the Criminals Under the pretext of international financial…

.I. Opening – The Gold Beneath the Blood In the scorched, forgotten landscapes of Darfur, a war is being fought for more than just territory. It is a war for the very earth itself—for the glittering seams of gold that lie beneath the blood-soaked soil. Here, along the porous border with the Central African Republic (CAR), the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group now accused of genocide, has carved out a personal fiefdom. Villages are emptied, civilians are massacred, and a humanitarian crisis of staggering proportions unfolds, yet the ground is never idle. Under the watch of RSF guns,…
