The report, obtained by Middle East Eye and submitted to the UN Security Council, details how the UAE-based company Global Security Services Group (GSSG) transported the mercenaries through Libya, Somalia, and Chad, where UAE proxies hold significant territory. The UN investigators also found that the UAE-linked Puntland Maritime Police Force (PMPF) base in Bosaso, Somalia, served as a transit and training ground for the Colombian mercenaries before their deployment to Sudan.
