Alright, let's get real. The UAE is now saying they "made a mistake" in Sudan? Give me a break. This isn't some innocent slip-up; it's calculated chaos, plain and simple. They're admitting they shouldn't have cozied up to those two generals back in 2021. "We all made a mistake," says Anwar Gargash. Oh, really?
So, the UAE "didn't call it a coup." Well, actions speak louder than words, don't they? They actively undermined any chance of a real civilian government after that whole Bashir thing went down. They wanted the military to be in charge, even pushing for Hemedti, the RSF commander, to handle the economy. Yeah, that sounds like a recipe for stability... not.
And let's not forget that sweet $3 billion loan they gave the military council. When the civilian side started gaining traction, the money faucet mysteriously shut off. Jonas Horner nails it: that loan loss led directly to the coup and the civil war.
Four years later, they're suddenly distancing themselves from the RSF? Please. Everyone knows they've been arming these guys. The Biden administration even slapped sanctions on Hemedti and some UAE-based companies funding him. But, offcourse, the UAE denies everything. They're just victims of a disinformation campaign, supposedly fueled by Islamists and left-wing NGOs. Right.
It's like watching a kid with chocolate smeared all over their face deny they ate the cake.
I'm not buying it.
What's this all about, then? Resources, plain and simple. Sudan's got gold, farmland, and a strategic spot on the Red Sea. The UAE wants access, and they don't care who they have to prop up to get it. Why is the UAE involved in Sudan’s bloody civil war?
They're scared of Islamism, too. They see the Muslim Brotherhood as a threat, and they're willing to do anything to keep them out of power. It's a convenient excuse, really. Slap the "anti-Islamist" label on everything, and suddenly, all your dirty dealings are justified.
And those ports... Don't even get me started. The UAE wants to build ports all over the Red Sea, and Sudan is prime real estate. They had a $6 billion deal for the Abu Amama port, but it got canceled. You know they're itching to revive that thing.
They've got stakes in Sudanese banks, too. Bank of Khartoum, the biggest one, facilitates money transfers for millions of displaced people. Convenient, isn't it? They can control the flow of money while pretending to be neutral.
The US is hoping the UAE and Egypt can team up and force their proxies into a ceasefire. They've got this "Quad" thing going on – US, Saudi, Egypt, and UAE – trying to broker a deal. Three-month truce, civilian government... sounds great on paper. But will it actually work? I doubt it.
These talks in Washington are excluding Sudanese civilians. Are we really supposed to believe that the actual Sudanese people don't get a say in their own government?
And let's not forget that little jab at the Muslim Brotherhood in the joint statement. "Sudan's future cannot be dictated by violent extremist groups... linked to the Muslim Brotherhood." Translation: We're still going to meddle to make sure no one we don't like gets any power.
Honestly, I am just so tired of this crap.
