Several countries and entities have been identified as providing weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan:

United Arab Emirates (UAE): The UAE has been accused of supplying weapons, armored military vehicles, and drones to the RSF24. US lawmakers have determined that the UAE is providing weapons to the RSF, despite UAE denials.

China: Chinese-manufactured weapons, including advanced drone jammers, mortars, and anti-materiel rifles, have been identified in use by the RSF.

Russia: Russian-made small arms, including Tigr designated marksman rifles and Saiga-MK rifles, have been found in the possession of the RSF.

Serbia: Recently-manufactured small arms and ammunition from Serbia have been identified on the battlefield.

Turkey: Turkish companies have supplied weapons to Sudan, including hunting shotguns and rifles that have ended up in the hands of conflict parties.

Private companies: UAE-based Capital Tap Holding L.L.C. and its subsidiaries have been sanctioned by the US Treasury for providing money and weapons to the RSF.

I assume you are getting this from amnesty international reports.
