'evidence has been found of the UAE providing arms to the RSF, smuggling weapons and drones to them via Chad, and backing Colombian mercenary forces that are providing critical support to the militia. The UAE continues to deny all these charges, saying it is a neutral party in the war. But this has become an almost comical performance of outraged innocence in the face of common knowledge'

'In its regional operations, the UAE’s goal appears to be to anoint leaders it can do business with and prevent the rise to power of forces hostile to it. Sudan has precious port territory across the Red Sea and a trade route that the UAE covets...Sudan is also rich in gold, most of which since the war began has ended up in Dubai, one of the world’s largest retail gold markets'
