A network of family members, sanctioned individuals, and entities linked to the leadership of Sudan’s brutal Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia owns a $24 million real estate portfolio in Dubai consisting of over 20 properties. The RSF is commanded by Mohammad Hamdan Dagalo Musa (‘Hemedti’) and his two brothers, Abdelrahim Hamdan Dagalo Musa and Algoney Hamdan Dagalo Musa, all of whom have been sanctioned. Leaked real estate records reveal that several of these properties, along with additional rental properties, are located within the same gated community in Dubai. The findings suggest that, in addition to reportedly supporting the militia with weapons and mercenaries, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) provides a safe haven for the RSF leadership’s family and wealth.
The Sentry reviewed multiple sources of information, including phone records and passport data, to ascertain the family connections of the Dagalo brothers. When the Dagalo family was reached for comment, the persons identified as related to the Dagalo brothers did not deny their familial relationship. Ownership of property by Dagalo family members, standing alone, does not constitute or imply wrongdoing.
