Calls to boycott the United Arab Emirates and Emirati-linked companies are growing across social media, fuelled by anger over the Gulf state’s backing of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan’s devastating war.

The campaign - which had been circulating in Sudanese and diaspora circles for years - gained fresh momentum after the RSF seized the city of el-Fasher in North Darfur on 26 October.

The capture of the last Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) stronghold in the region was accompanied by widespread massacres, with harrowing footage showing RSF fighters boasting about killing civilians, including women, children and the elderly, as residents fled the city.
