John,

European lawmakers are moving forward with negotiations for a free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates — despite serious allegations that the UAE is helping smuggle European-made arms into Sudan’s civil war. These weapons have fueled systematic rape, starvation, and mass killings by the RSF militia.

150,000 dead and 13 million displaced. But we can stop this. 

All around the world, people are sounding the alarm — backed by NGOs and human rights experts — to call out the UAE’s links to war crimes. If we act now, together, we can stop this deal in its tracks and demand peace over profit.

Sign the urgent petition demanding a full halt to trade negotiations with the UAE until the arms transfers are investigated and stopped.

The Sudan conflict is devastating.

More than 150,000 people are already dead. Over 13 million have been forced from their homes. Entire cities are under siege. And the evidence is mounting: European-made weapons, traced to the RSF militia, are fueling this horror — and many are passing through the UAE.

Some EU politicians want to use the trade deal as leverage — but that doesn’t work if talks quietly continue. The only moral path is to pause negotiations entirely until there’s accountability. Otherwise, Europe is putting a price tag on Sudanese lives and clearing the path for further atrocities.

The UAE has denied everything — but credible investigations from Amnesty International, the UN, and Sudanese officials point to a disturbing pattern of arms transfers.

And instead of stopping the deal, some EU lawmakers are bending to UAE pressure and influence. Parliament even removed all references to the UAE’s role in the war — after direct lobbying from Emirati officials in Strasbourg.

Add your name now to demand a full halt to EU-UAE trade talks. We’ll deliver the petition to key EU institutions before any deal can be finalized.

Our community has always stood for justice — from blocking dirty fossil fuel investments to protecting civilians in conflict zones. Now we must act again to stop this dangerous deal and defend lives in Sudan.
