A Turkish arms firm helped fuel Sudan's brutal civil war, documents show
Briefly

A leak of documents to The Post exposes how Baykar, a major Turkish defense company, secretly supplied the Sudanese army with drones and missiles, significantly impacting the ongoing civil war. The documents indicate Baykar sent $120 million worth of weaponry, fueling a conflict the UN labels as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Detailed communications, including video evidence of attacks, illustrate the company's involvement and the ethical implications of their arms deals, highlighting Turkey's controversial role in the Sudanese conflict.
The secret shipment of Turkish drones and missiles had just been delivered to the Sudanese army in September, and a team from Baykar - Turkey's largest defense company - was on the ground to make sure the deal went smoothly.
The cache reveals in startling new detail how a well-connected Turkish defense firm covertly fueled Sudan's devastating civil war, which has dragged on for 22 months and created what the United Nations calls the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe.
