Generated Title: The UAE's "Neutrality" in Sudan? Yeah, and I'm the Tooth Fairy.
Okay, so the UN is "gravely concerned" about Sudan. The EU is tut-tutting about "brutality." Give me a break. We're talking about mass executions, folks, and the response is a strongly worded letter? It's like sending a fruit basket to a serial killer.
The Usual Suspects
The Sudanese ambassador to India is straight-up calling out the UAE for supplying weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Not exactly subtle, is it? He's saying the RSF is a proxy for foreign powers, with the UAE acting as an arms dealer through Libya and Chad. This ain't a conspiracy theory; this is coming from the Sudanese ambassador.
So, the UAE is playing both sides, huh? They're applying to join the CPTPP trade deal to "counter Trump tariffs," which is hilarious in itself, and simultaneously fueling a bloody conflict in Sudan. It's like watching a pyromaniac complain about the rising cost of fire insurance. I mean, are we really surprised? This is the same UAE that throws money at everything from Premier League soccer teams to Martian probes. What's a little proxy war between friends?
And what's with the West's "culpable indifference," as Le Monde so delicately puts it? Kholood Khair, a Sudanese analyst, nails it: "Western countries issue condemnation after condemnation, but do nothing." It's the same old song and dance. We wag our fingers, shed a few crocodile tears, and then go back to counting our money. Maybe that's harsh...but is it wrong?
Drones and Denials
The ambassador even mentions the RSF using "strategic drones" capable of long-duration flights. That's not your average militia hardware. That's state-sponsored weaponry, plain and simple. The UAE offcourse will deny everything, probably issue some bland statement about "promoting peace and stability in the region." Yeah, right. Just like they "promoted" peace and stability in Yemen.
It's always the same playbook: Deny, deny, deny. Obfuscate. Distract. And hope everyone forgets about it in a week when the next shiny object appears. They expect us to believe this nonsense, and honestly...
But here's the thing that really gets under my skin: an Indian national was captured by the RSF in El Fashir. Some poor sap just trying to live his life, now caught in the middle of this mess. The ambassador says they're in contact with the Ministry of External Affairs and hope to get him back soon. Hope? That's the best they can do? This is a bad idea. No, 'bad' doesn't cover it—this is a five-alarm dumpster fire.
Trading Partners or Partners in Crime?
The Philippines is also trying to join the CPTPP. What's that got to do with anything? I don't know, I just find it weird that everyone's suddenly buddy-buddy while this shit is going down. Are we so desperate for trade deals that we're willing to ignore blatant human rights abuses? Philippines and UAE apply to join CPTPP to counter Trump tariffs
Maybe I'm being too cynical. Maybe there's some grand geopolitical strategy at play that I'm too dumb to understand. Maybe the UAE is secretly working to bring peace to Sudan, and arming the RSF is just a clever ruse. Then again, maybe I'm the crazy one here.
So, What's the Real Story?
It's a simple equation: The UAE is arming the RSF, the RSF is slaughtering civilians, and the world is standing by and watching. We can dress it up with diplomatic jargon and trade agreements, but that's the bottom line. They ain't neutral; they're complicit. And frankly, it's disgusting.
