‘Smoking gun’ evidence points to UAE involvement in Sudan civil war
Passports recovered from battlefields in Sudan suggest the United Arab Emirates is covertly putting boots on the ground in the country’s devastating civil war, according to leaked documents.
A 41-page document, sent to the UN security council and seen by the Guardian, contains images of Emirati passports allegedly found in Sudan and linked to soldiers of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the African nation’s notorious paramilitary.
The UAE has previously denied all accusations of supplying arms to the RSF, which is holding the city of El Fasher under siege in a wider campaign of ethnic cleansing in Darfur.
However, the suggestion that the Emirates has deployed personnel to assist the fighting in Sudan would be an escalation, further inflaming the geopolitical complexities of the 15-month long civil war between the RSF and Sudanese military.
Wait, is it like that time we found the 9/11 attackers' passports in the wreckage?
They'll just threaten to withhold oil until it goes away. Just like 9/11
oooh I don't know about this one, elaborate please!
Saudis are super rich and control a massive supply of oil that the US needs to keep flowing. If we broke diplomatic ties or tried to hold them accountable, they'd show us their backside and we'd suffer economically.
