Emirati, Israeli and far-right influencers ‘invented Christian killings in Sudan’, report says

A recent investigation by Beam Reports, a Sudanese platform dedicated to combating disinformation, has uncovered a coordinated digital campaign involving Emirati, Israeli, and far-right social media accounts. The campaign falsely alleged that Christians were being targeted and killed by Islamists in Sudan, particularly in the aftermath of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group’s seizure of el-Fasher in Darfur nearly a month ago. The report revealed that the campaign aimed to shift blame for atrocities away from the RSF, reframe Sudan’s conflict as a religious war to garner international sympathy, and flood online spaces with fabricated content to obscure media coverage.
