Emirati, Israeli and far-right influencers 'invented Christian killings in Sudan': ReportBeam Reports, a Sudanese investigative platform that combats disinformation, said in its latest report on Wednesday that after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group seized control of el-Fasher in Darfur nearly a month ago, misleading content about the nature of events began to surface online in a "synchronised manner".
The objectives of the coordinated campaign, Beam Reports stated, included shifting blame of atrocities away from the RSF, recasting Sudan's war as a religious conflict to "evoke foreign sympathy", and flooding the online space with fabricated content to confuse media coverage.
Beam identified Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst, as the architect of the campaign. He posted several claims about alleged Islamists in Sudan, which were then amplified by other accounts.
One claim alleged that Britain was about to grant citizenship to a "Sudanese jihadist" whilst "Christians are being slaughtered in Sudan and Nigeria by Islamist extremists".
Taha added that Sudan's army had "killed 2 million Christians, displaced 8 million, and raped 15,000 women, while leftists stay busy attacking the UAE… a nation where church bells ring freely".
Taha also claimed that a Sudanese army officer had "eaten a man's heart after killing him and his children". Again, no evidence was provided, but such claims were amplified by Emirati, Israeli and far-right accounts.
