A 2005 UN arms embargo prohibits any country from supplying weapons to Darfur, Sudan, an area that has seen intense fighting since the outbreak of the civil war in 2023. Both sides of the conflict have been accused of war crimes. The UN says more than 24,000 people have been killed.

The stash of ammunition crates located near the capital was filmed by SAF soldiers who took part in the final push to retake Khartoum and its twin city of Omdurman on May 20. The action has led to much footage and images including ones that appear to show supplies used by the RSF.

Bellingcat and Daily Nation have identified three videos containing ammunition crates that show labels of the Kenyan Ministry of Defence (MoD) allegedly left behind by the RSF inside an unknown depot most likely in the Salha neighbourhood of Omdurman.

All the videos analysed were posted between May 19 and May 21. We geolocated the soldiers in a market area in Salha. This is consistent with the re-taking of the city by the Sudanese Armed Forces. The SAF declared it had retaken the final areas of resistance in the city on May 20.

Using social media, we identified soldiers seen in the depot next to the ammunition. One of them is a major from the SAF’s General Intelligence Service (GIS) as indicated by his uniform insignias and patches seen in two separate videos. His name appears to be Al-Makki Abdul Quddus Ahmed.

Another video that could be geolocated approximately 150m from the one showing Al-Makki, we identified a second young soldier. Both appear to have been in the depot during the same time as the operation in Salha.
