New: The Emirati businessman supplying Colombian mercenaries to Sudan's RSF militia is the business partner of the UAE's top bureaucrat, equivalent to US White House Chief of Staff.

Colombian mercenaries are reportedly deployed by UAE-based Global Security Services Group, 100% owned by Mohamed Hamdan Alzaabi. Leaked contracts show GSSG making Colombian recruits sign non-disclosure agreements.

The Sentry @TheSentry_Org can reveal Alzaabi is the business partner of Ahmed Mohamed Al Humairi, the longstanding secretary-general of the UAE's Presidential Court (formerly the Ministry of Presidential Affairs or Diwan).
3/
The Presidential Court supports the UAE's leader, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed (MBZ), and is chaired by Vice President, MBZ's brother, Sheikh Mansour. The NYT reports that Sheikh Mansour plays "a central role" in arming the RSF.
Alzaabi and Al Humairi have a close business relationship. Al Humairi currently owns 75% of an IT firm, Securetech, while Alzaabi owns 12.5%. Until 2023, Al Humairi also owned 75% of large security guard firm, Securiguard Middle East, while Alzaabi owned 12.5%.
5/
Also in Arabic: the relationship between Alzaabi (owner of GSSG, who provides the Colombian mercenaries to the RSF) and Al Humairi (secretary general of the UAE Presidential Court).
6/
To recruit Colombians GSSG partnered with Colombian firm A4SI, reportedly controlled by former Colombian Colonel Álvaro Quijano, who used to work as a foreign legionary in the UAE military. A4SI is owned by Quijano's wife Claudia Oliveros.

7/
The mercenaries appear to be paid offshore. Contracts signed by Colombian recruits authorize GSSG to transfer their salaries to a Panamanian company, Global Staffing, whose director is Oliveros.

UN Security Council members should investigate and, if appropriate, freeze the bank accounts of these UAE, Colombian and Panamanian companies - to interrupt the 'mercenarismo' worsening the situation in Sudan.

The missing piece of the puzzle is: who, or what, pays GSSG to supply the mercenaries?
