UAE Slams Sudan's Army Chief, Forgets Its Own Arms Deals
When the UAE slams Sudan’s army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, for rejecting a U.S.-backed truce, calling his actions 'obstructive,' it’s a masterclass in deflection, as reported by The New Arab. The critique comes with the subtlety of a drone strike, accusing Burhan of 'obstructing peace' while the war deepens. But hold the synchronized applause, because this high-minded scolding conveniently
omits the UAE's own documented history as a major arms supplier, destabilizing numerous conflicts across the Middle East and Africa. One might wonder if the UAE’s sudden concern for 'peace' extends to their own significant weapons exports to various factions in Yemen, or their documented involvement in Libya, which only prolonged those brutal civil wars. The optics of a major player in regional
proxy wars suddenly clutching pearls over someone else's 'obstructiveness' is peak geopolitical theater. It seems 'obstructive' only applies when it's not serving their strategic interests or filling their coffers. How many proxies does it take to change a lightbulb, or, more accurately, to destabilize a region into submission?
