Same sponsor. Two realities.
The @NBA is partnering with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on a $300M deal while Sudan burns. No matter who wins the NBA Finals, the people of Sudan lose.
The @NBA made the wrong call. End the @emirates deal bloodontheball.org #EmiratesNBACup

Rights group Human Rights Watch warns the NBA risks “sportswashing” the UAE's rights abuses by expanding its financial ties during the 2026 Finals, citing alleged Emirati military support for the RSF in Sudan.

Israel’s closure of all Gaza border crossings is unjustifiable.
It will deepen suffering for 2.1 million people in Gaza who depend on aid, medicine, and fuel entering Gaza to survive. Our full statement from @NatashaHallDC

🧵1/ The NBA should divest from the UAE until it ends support for the RSF in Sudan. Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises: more than 11 million people displaced, widespread atrocities, and millions facing hunger and famine.

The @NBA is suddenly changing course. For 75 years, NBA players and coaches have stood up against injustice. But today, the NBA has a $300M sponsorship with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE also sponsors a genocidal militia in Sudan with weapons & drones that kill civilians.
The NBA made the wrong call. End the @emirates deal.

NEW: Colombian private military contractors, apparently hired by a United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based company, transited through UAE military bases before being deployed to Sudan to support the abusive Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
This is further evidence indicating that the UAE is assisting or otherwise substantially contributing to the Rapid Support Forces’ capacity to commit war crimes.

Calls are getting louder to investigate the UAE for its role in Sudan's war, demanding that governments say what they have so far refused to: that the UAE has earned its place among the ranks of the world’s outlaws.

As the NBA playoffs begin, Sudan is marking 3 years of war. There is a disturbing connection here.
The UAE is fueling genocide in Darfur & the NBA is still partnering with the UAE.
Sign the petition for the @NBA to end its partnership with @emirates

🚨New report by CIG @just1nlynch shows UAE supported Colombian mercenaries enabled atrocities in El Fasher, Sudan via drone assistance.
“Without this assistance, the siege, takeover, and resulting atrocities would likely not have occurred.”

We express solidarity with Mr. Shah Alam’s family, the broader Rohingya community, and all of our neighbors who face increased uncertainty and risks of harm due to the Trump administration’s current policies.
Refugees International is saddened by the needless death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind Rohingya refugee who had been detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents.
CBP's actions must be thoroughly investigated. Statement from @endgenocidedan.

The UN Fact Finding Mission on Sudan found that the #RSF attacks in El Fasher, Darfur last fall bear the hallmarks of genocide:
"Their consolidation, scale, systematic nature, and cumulative effects may indicate a path to genocide."

Survivors who fled #ElFasher to Eastern Chad are facing a strained humanitarian response that's now contracting under aid cuts.
Urgent action is needed to keep people alive. Relief efforts must be combined with accountability.

More than two months into the ceasefire in #Gaza, humanitarian access remains severely constrained.
Today's #IPC report finds that while Gaza has moved out of famine, the entire population remains in the pre-famine IPC Phase 4 – and 104,000 people remain in Phase 5.
