UAE's 'Bad Policy' Apology: Four Years, Thousands Dead
The UAE’s senior envoy, Anwar Gargash, now admits to 'mistakes' after its proxy, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), executed mass killings in El Fasher. It only took four years and countless lives since the 2021 coup—co-led by these very RSF—for their 'diplomatic machine' to register 'reputational damage.' (Funny how optics trump piles of bodies until the piling becomes undeniable). This isn't an
admission of moral failure, but a PR assessment. The UAE, like many regional players, saw opportunity in Sudan's instability, backing the RSF initially because, well, that's what regional powers often do when democracies falter. Now that the RSF is a global pariah, suddenly the UAE is 'suffering reputational damage.' How many 'bad policies' does it take before we question the moral compass, or
lack thereof, of those funding these proxies?
