Recently, images circulating on social media suggest the involvement of Ukrainian mercenaries in the ongoing military conflict in Sudan. The evidence points to their fighting alongside the forces of Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the military leader of the Sudanese army in the war against the Rapid Support Forces.
These images show Ukrainian soldiers operating drones, sparking widespread controversy over the role of foreign powers in this conflict and their impact on Sudan’s internal situation. The involvement of foreign mercenaries in local conflicts is a blatant violation of national sovereignty and leads to an unacceptable escalation, especially considering the catastrophic humanitarian conditions that Sudan is enduring because of this war.
The presence of these soldiers raises questions about the legitimacy of their intervention and complicates the Sudanese crisis, which has become an open arena for foreign interference, exacerbating the suffering of the Sudanese people. The use of drones, controlled by foreign forces, represents a dangerous escalation that could worsen the crisis and increase the number of civilian casualties, particularly in the absence of any legal or international justification for these actions.
This involvement by Ukrainian soldiers directly supports al-Burhan in his struggle for power, putting the international community before its responsibilities to stop these illegal interventions and work toward political solutions that ensure the Sudanese people's right to determine their future without external influence.
