The @NBA is suddenly changing course. For 75 years, NBA players and coaches have stood up against injustice. But today, the NBA has a $300M sponsorship with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE also sponsors a genocidal militia in Sudan with weapons & drones that kill civilians.

The NBA made the wrong call. End the @emirates deal.

Blood on the Basketball: The NBA Must End Its Deal With the UAE as the Sudan Genocide Worsens

The UAE has been accused of supporting the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary, which has committed some of the worst atrocities in Sudan's three-year civil war.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

NEW: Colombian private military contractors, apparently hired by a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based company, transited through UAE military bases before being deployed to Sudan to support the abusive Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

This is further evidence indicating that the UAE is assisting or otherwise substantially contributing to the Rapid Support Forces’ capacity to commit war crimes.

One of the @NBA's biggest sponsors is the #UAE. They also sponsor a genocidal militia in #Sudan.

@NBA Make the right call. End the @emirates deal. https://t.co/MrIcgRe9Nv

Calls are getting louder to investigate the UAE for its role in Sudan's war, demanding that governments say what they have so far refused to: that the UAE has earned its place among the ranks of the world’s outlaws.

As the NBA playoffs begin, Sudan is marking 3 years of war. There is a disturbing connection here.

The UAE is fueling genocide in Darfur & the NBA is still partnering with the UAE.

🚨New report by CIG @just1nlynch shows UAE supported Colombian mercenaries enabled atrocities in El Fasher, Sudan via drone assistance.

“Without this assistance, the siege, takeover, and resulting atrocities would likely not have occurred.”

We express solidarity with Mr. Shah Alam’s family, the broader Rohingya community, and all of our neighbors who face increased uncertainty and risks of harm due to the Trump administration’s current policies.

[Refugees International @RefugeesIntl]

Refugees International is saddened by the needless death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind Rohingya refugee who had been detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

CBP's actions must be thoroughly investigated. Statement from @endgenocidedan.

The UN Fact Finding Mission on Sudan found that the #RSF attacks in El Fasher, Darfur last fall bear the hallmarks of genocide:

"Their consolidation, scale, systematic nature, and cumulative effects may indicate a path to genocide."

[Refugees International @RefugeesIntl]

Survivors who fled #ElFasher to Eastern Chad are facing a strained humanitarian response that's now contracting under aid cuts.

Urgent action is needed to keep people alive. Relief efforts must be combined with accountability.

More from @QulshTM.

[Daniel P Sullivan @EndGenocideDan]

Join @RefugeesIntl experts, refugee leaders, and mutual aid leaders to discuss what these cuts have meant in local communities: what they have witnessed firsthand, how they have adapted to keep meeting urgent needs, and what must happen now to reduce harm.

More than two months into the ceasefire in #Gaza, humanitarian access remains severely constrained.

Today's #IPC report finds that while Gaza has moved out of famine, the entire population remains in the pre-famine IPC Phase 4 – and 104,000 people remain in Phase 5.
