UAE in Sudan: What's Really Going On?

The UAE's "Humanitarian Aid" to Sudan? Yeah, Right.

So, we're supposed to believe the UAE is just accidentally arming a genocidal militia in Sudan? Give me a freakin' break.

The "Oops, We Sent Weapons" Defense

Let's be real. The Middle East Eye's report lays it out plain as day: unmarked containers, shady shipments through Bosaso, Colombian mercenaries popping up... This ain't humanitarian aid, folks. This is a textbook case of fueling a conflict for personal gain. As reported in Exclusive: Inside the UAE's secret Sudan war operation at Somalia's Bosaso, the UAE's involvement is far from benign.

And what's the UAE's excuse? Oh, they're just trying to help. Sure, just like I'm trying to help by eating this entire pizza by myself. It's for the greater good, obviously.

The article mentions the US knows about the UAE's involvement and how Trump even joked about one of their leaders having "unlimited cash." So, we're all just cool with enabling this? The blood spilled in Sudan is visible from space, as Nesrine Malik points out, but our leaders are too busy counting their crypto profits to care.

The Somalia Connection: A Convenient Blind Spot

Bosaso Airport in Somalia? That's where the magic happens. Planes landing with "undisclosed heavy logistical materials." Sounds legit. A Puntland Maritime Police Force commander even admits the stuff is going straight to the RSF.

And Mogadishu? They’re "unable to object." Translation: they're too weak to stand up to the UAE's influence. It's like watching a schoolyard bully steal lunch money, and everyone's just standing around, too scared to say anything.

I mean, come on, a port manager even revealed that over 500,000 containers marked as hazardous have gone through Bosaso, with NO description of their contents. How is that even remotely acceptable?

Offcourse, no one from the UAE or Puntland responded to requests for comment. Wonder why?

America's "Close Ties" and Empty Words

Dorothy Shea, the US deputy representative to the UN, can condemn the RSF all she wants. It's just empty words when the US is simultaneously coddling the UAE, one of the militia's main backers. It's like scolding a dog for peeing on the rug while you're actively pouring water on it.

The article highlights how the US is partnering with the UAE on critical minerals, defense technologies, and even expanding the Trump family's crypto and real estate businesses. So, a few thousand dead Sudanese civilians are just the cost of doing business? As detailed in How US-UAE Ties Weaken Washington’s Voice on Sudan, the US relationship with the UAE complicates its stance on the conflict.

And this "Quad" peace plan? A three-month truce followed by a return to civilian rule? Sounds great on paper, but it's about as likely to succeed as me winning the lottery. The Sudanese government already rejected it as "foreign intervention." Can't say I blame them.

So, What's the Real Story?

It's all about power, resources, and strategic positioning. The UAE wants a foothold in Sudan, and they're willing to fund a genocide to get it. The US is too busy chasing profits and maintaining "close ties" to do anything about it.

Meanwhile, the world watches as Sudan implodes.

The Band-Aid on a Bullet Wound

And now the UAE is "doubling down" on humanitarian support? Oh, how generous of them. It's like a pyromaniac offering marshmallows to the people whose homes they set on fire.

Dr. Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to President Sheikh Mohamed, claims the international community made a "critical mistake" by not stopping Sudan’s 2021 military takeover. Okay, but what about the current mistake of actively fueling the conflict?

We're All Just Pawns

Look, I ain't saying the US is blameless here. We've got our own dirty hands in plenty of conflicts around the world. But this situation in Sudan is particularly galling. We're enabling a genocidal regime for the sake of our own economic and political interests. And we're pretending it's not happening.

Maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe there's some grand strategic plan that I'm too dumb to understand. But from where I'm sitting, it looks like we're selling our souls for a few barrels of oil and a handful of rare earth minerals. And the people of Sudan are paying the price.

They're Laughing All the Way to the Bank
