The United Arab Emirates is facing an existential crisis. Under a barrage of Iranian drones, the petro-state’s illusion of stability is disintegrating, and its status as a global hub for finance and tourism is eroding.
Yet, even as its own survival is tested, the UAE’s commitment to the destruction of Sudan remains unshakeable. While the UAE faces a domestic food crisis due to collapsing imports, it continues to export weapons fueling the g*nocide in Sudan, perpetrated by its proxy, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
Complete analysis:
spoiler
As reported by Le Monde, the UAE is developing new supply routes. On Sudan's eastern border, UAE-linked cargo planes are making repeated flights to Ethiopia, where according to a Reuters article a secret RSF training camp has been established. Meanwhile, alleged "infrastructure" investments in the Central African Republic seem to serve as a strategic cover for a supply base in western Sudan.
Even as its own home burns, the UAE persists in this campaign because g*nocide is a business model, and the blood of Sudanese people is a low price to pay.
Firstly, despite having no mines of its own, the UAE seeks to dominate the global gold trade, even as it is unable to export the gold looted by its proxy militia.
Secondly, despite a lack of rain, the UAE seeks to dominate the global food trade by turning Sudan’s fertile banks into a private breadbasket. Yet its own supermarket shelves are rapidly emptying, amid supply challenges facing a state that imports 90% of its food.
Thirdly, the UAE aims to establish a maritime empire through Sudan’s strategic ports, despite currently being unable to defend its own coastline.
By fueling a massacre while its own territory comes under fire, the UAE is once again showing its commitment to g*nocide in Sudan.
It is still too early to know whether the war on Iran has disrupted the UAE’s supply lines to the RSF. However, the wider impact on aviation is already significant. If airspace closures, flight cancellations, and security risks continue to ground or severely restrict flights in and out of the UAE for a sustained period, then the flow of weapons being transported onward to Sudan would also be reduced.
