Everything You Need to Know: Microsoft Is Bankrolling Genocide in Sudan

Microsoft just announced a $15.2 billion investment in the United Arab Emirates. On the surface, it looks like another shiny tech expansion. But behind the press releases, that money is helping fund one of the world's most violent military forces — the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan.

As civilians are massacred across Darfur, Microsoft is strengthening the economy of the regime responsible. This is not innovation. It is complicity.

💸 Microsoft’s Billions Are Propping Up the UAE’s War Machine

Since 2023, Microsoft has spent more than $7.3 billion in the UAE. The investment includes AI infrastructure, cloud data centers, and a $1.5 billion stake in G42, the UAE's state-backed artificial intelligence firm. Microsoft plans to spend another $7.9 billion there by 2029.

This includes:

• A $544 million data center project with UAE telecom provider Du
• Tens of thousands of high-powered Nvidia chips, legally exported with U.S. approval
• Deepened partnerships with UAE agencies that shape regional policy and surveillance

Microsoft says it is investing in "trust" and "global cooperation." In reality, it is enabling a government accused of fueling genocide.

💣 The UAE Is Supplying Arms to Sudan’s Killers

The RSF is responsible for mass killings, village burnings, and ethnic cleansing in Sudan. The UN has described the situation in Darfur as genocide. And it is the UAE that is supplying weapons to the RSF.

Investigations by Amnesty International and Middle East Eye have uncovered arms shipments, drone deliveries, and surveillance gear originating from the UAE. Satellite images confirm drone bases on the Sudan-Chad border operated by the Emirates. Caches of seized weapons in Sudan match those sold by the UAE.

Lawmakers in the U.S. have raised alarm. Senator Jeanne Shaheen said the UAE is helping to fuel one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world. But Microsoft keeps investing.

🤖 Microsoft’s AI Empire Is Powered by Violence

Microsoft is not just building tech hubs. It is helping develop AI and surveillance tools that boost the military and political power of the UAE. Its GPUs and cloud systems support G42, a company with direct links to UAE intelligence and military efforts.

These technologies are not neutral. They are part of the digital infrastructure behind surveillance, suppression, and war across the Middle East and Africa.

And Sudan is not the only place where Microsoft is complicit. It sells cloud services to U.S. immigration enforcement. It helps power Israeli surveillance systems. In Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo, Microsoft's technology serves regimes that harm vulnerable people.

✊ What You Can Do

1. Boycott Microsoft. Cancel Microsoft 365. Delete Azure. Ditch Xbox and Surface. Show that you will not support corporate complicity.
2. Use the Boycat App. Discover alternatives to Microsoft tools and stay informed about companies funding violence.
3. Join the Sudan Campaign. Use Boycat to raise awareness and pressure Microsoft to end its support for G42 and the UAE.
4. Protect Yourself with BuycatVPN. Defend your data from corporations that profit from surveillance and exploitation.

🚨 The Bottom Line

Microsoft is not a bystander. It is a direct investor in a government that is backing a genocide in Sudan. While entire communities are being erased, Microsoft is building cloud services and calling it progress.

This is not responsible innovation. It is corporate betrayal.

We cannot let tech giants hide behind clean branding while helping violent regimes. Microsoft's dollars are not neutral. They are part of the problem.
