Leaked intelligence details have revealed a high-level secret meeting in Addis Ababa involving security and diplomatic officials from the UAE, Ethiopia, and Kenya, alongside leaders linked to the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
According to the sources, the meeting focused on an urgent plan to reopen Sudan’s eastern front and provide military and human support to the RSF following recent battlefield setbacks.
Held at a hotel in Addis Ababa, the meeting brought together regional figures, including former UAE Ambassador to Sudan Hamad Al-Hunaibi, diplomat Mohammed Ali Al-Shamsi, and Hamad Abdullah, a Sudanese national linked to Emirati security agencies, representing the UAE side.
The Ethiopian delegation included intelligence chief Getachew and Deputy Security Chief Sisay Tola, while three senior Kenyan intelligence officials, whose identities remain undisclosed, also attended.
The meeting was coordinated by Taha Osman Al-Hussein, former director of the presidential office and a key figure handling the RSF’s external affairs, along with Mohammed Abdullah, a financial transfer official who identifies himself as an adviser to the RSF commander.
The move followed major advances by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their strategic capture of Al-Kormuk in Blue Nile State by the end of July 2026.
The participants discussed plans to reorganize RSF forces, redistribute fighters, and accelerate the delivery of military and logistical support.
The plan includes moving mercenaries from South Sudan by land and air to Ethiopia’s Assosa area near the Sudanese border before deploying them into Sudan.
Sources said Ethiopia agreed to allow unrestricted landing of transport aircraft at Assosa Airport, while imposing tight security measures to prevent leaks or images exposing the nature of military shipments.
The meeting also approved a three-pronged military operation aimed at retaking Al-Kormuk.
In a move highlighting the level of security involvement, Ethiopian intelligence agreed to provide the RSF with three strategic drones to support a counteroffensive in the Al-Kormuk area. The drones’ operations, however, were restricted to the border zone adjacent to Blue Nile State and barred from use in Darfur or Kordofan fronts.
The plan assigns Taha Osman Al-Hussein responsibility for supervision and logistics, including coordinating arms and support shipments through African ports and airports before moving them into Sudan through three border routes: South Sudan, Chad, and Ethiopia.
The leaked details have intensified scrutiny of regional involvement in Sudan’s conflict amid ongoing international and domestic criticism of external actors accused of fueling the war and undermining Sudan’s stability.
