Christians have called on the football Premier League to raise the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) role in the devastating conflict in Sudan with Manchester City’s owner at a protest at Etihad Stadium.

The action was staged by Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) outside the club’s stadium because Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan is the UAE’s vice president and deputy prime minister.

He is believed to be the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) closest ally in the Emirates, with the nation having provided them with military and financial support as they seek to defeat the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), as revealed by CSW.
