Today's UNSC meeting was an important step in building an international coalition to stop the war in #Sudan. And singling out UAE for their role is critical. But their continued denial, coupled with images of Russia's deputy minister in Port Sudan today, suggest to me that…
As anyone who has been following events in Sudan over the past five years can tell you, expressions of "deep concern" from Western countries are another way of saying "we're going to do nothing about whatever atrocity has just happened or is about to happen."

And we know that an attack on ELF will be catastrophic for the people living and sheltering there. ELF is on the verge of the F word: famine. The IC is right to draw attention on ELF, but unless they move beyond mere words, they are complicit in what comes next #KeepEyesOnSudan
And later when the UN did. Clearly, there can be sufficient leverage and real consequences put on the table when the IC deems it a worthy cause. The response to ELF, then, is another example that these statements are not backed up by political will at all. +
That's because despite calls for restraint, even from UAE (I believe that is called plausible deniability) no leverage has been put on the table - again. But it can be done. The only time there were 3hrs straight of ceasefire in KRT since April 23 was when the US evacuated. +
Timing is everything. After months of skirmishes a full scale attack on ELF by the RSF is days away... as is Jeddah 3, apparently. If the fight for ELF goes ahead, which is likely, then it will immediately condemn not just Jeddah but every active mediation, as irrelevant. +

I am looking for a therapist - preferably Sudanese but not necessarily as long as she speaks Arabic - who is specialised/focused on maternal mental health and postpartum depression! Please help! Thank you!
📢 BREAKING: New @HRL_YaleSPH report shows RSF in outskirts of city and 11 newly identified razed communities, including three inside RSF controlled areas near Millet. As UNSC turns pressure up, RSF forces still positioned to attack people of El Fasher. medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnood/…
But just as SAF has managed to convince some short-sighted folks that it has an edge over the other side, so too has the UAE convinced a shortsighted US/West that it does too. And to think we could be stuck with this absurdity for another 20 years... #KeepEyesOnSudan #Sudan
And of course as with SAF's use of that tactic, the UAE's usage brings up a futile dichotomy: in the end both are bad, albeit in different ways, neither has proven themselves a good choice and, crucially, the dichotomy covers up a whole litany of evils... +
In essence, the UAE is unconcerned about coming off badly because it knows the West and chiefly the 🇺🇸 will always perceive 🇮🇷 and 🇷🇺 as worse. Essentially they're using the same tactic as SAF has: yes, we're awful but look, the RSF is worse... who'd you rather deal with? +

In #Sudan, SAF has played a difficult balancing act in attempting to maintain ties to both 🇮🇱 +🇮🇷, with limited success. And despite assurances from SAF's ambo at the UN that they won't endanger Israel, that is difficult to prove while Iran seeks a base on Sudan's Red Sea coast +
For the US, UAE will keep 🇨🇳 Belt and Road initiative and its economic dominance at bay in Africa by outspending in investments especially in mining, offset 🇷🇺 sanctions so that they can continue unabated (without precipitating a humanitarian crisis), support 🇮🇱 and counter 🇮🇷 +
The UAE'a masterstroke is that it mostly *skirts* US interests, making itself indispensable in the US' high-priority areas, so that they can get away with murder (quite literally) in low-priority ones, such as #Sudan. It has worked well for some time and is unlikely to change. +
