US Watches Sudan 'War Crimes,' Sends Thoughts & Prayers (Not Aid)
Al Jazeera detailed Sudan's accusations of RSF 'war crimes' in el-Fasher, highlighting the desperate plea for international intervention. The US Treasury Department sanctioned RSF leaders in September 2023 , citing human rights abuses. Yet, while condemning RSF actions, the US remains a major backer of allied nations with direct ties to Sudanese factions. The United Arab Emirates (UAE),
specifically, has been repeatedly cited by UN experts and investigative journalists for allegedly supplying military aid to the RSF, fueling the very conflict the US claims to deplore. So, while Sudan's envoy slams UAE involvement in peace talks, the US continues to arm and support the UAE, contributing to the cycle of violence. One might wonder if the 'war crimes' are less concerning when
committed by proxies of a regional ally. The hypocrisy isn't just glaring; it's funding the slaughter.
