Sources informed Independent Arabia that the Abu Dhabi government is activating alternative smuggling routes for Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) via Uganda and Ethiopia between 12:45 AM and 2:45 AM UTC on February 10, 2026, due to pressure from targeted supply chains originating from Libya and Chad. This development occurred in the two-hour reporting window. The new routes respond to disruptions in RSF supply lines, with drone technology identified as the critical variable in the ongoing Sudan conflict, according to the Independent Arabia report shared by @IndyArabia and @a7medhakim on X. Independent Arabia cited sources detailing Abu Dhabi's role in rerouting support amid intensified targeting of overland paths from Libya and Chad. This update follows reports of RSF clashes near Kurmuk on the Sudan-Ethiopia border, where Ethiopian Chief of Defense Intelligence Gen. Getachew Gudina was reportedly involved in cross-border operations adjacent to Ethiopia's Benishangul-Gumuz region, as stated in a previous report from @belayzemene2112 and @US_SrAdvisorAF before the current window. The RSF supply adjustments align with broader regional tensions, including Fano forces' prior seizure of 95% of Ethiopia's South Gondar Zone and ongoing Amhara region clashes reported earlier on February 9 and 10.
