Whistleblower alleges Foreign Office censored Sudan genocide warning

A whistleblower claims Foreign Office officials censored warnings of potential genocide in Sudan from a risk assessment. The analyst believes this was done to protect the UAE, a key UK ally accused of arming paramilitary forces. The analyst stated that the word "genocide" was removed from a humanitarian risk assessment compiled shortly after the Sudan civil war began in April 2023. This occurred despite historical patterns of violence in the Darfur region. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) maintains that genocide determinations are not political and are based on competent court judgments, not early-warning assessments. The US has formally declared genocide in Sudan.
