My Mother Ikhlas Bashir Al Kitayabi sadly passed away this weekend. And since her passing my phone hasn’t stopped ringing with those wanting to pay their respects (my phone is actually ringing as I try to type this). To say my Mother was an extrovert is an understatement she

UN Complaint Filed After Sudanese Comedian Is Detained in UAE in Coordinated Interrogation with Rapid Support Forces Militants An urgent complaint has been submitted to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights detailing the detention of Sudanese comedian Muiad Jamal

@SenateForeign Senator these Colombian mercenaries will go to wherever their employer sends them; sanctioning them and completely ignoring the UAE’s Global Security Services Group that employed them will do nothing to stop the flow of foreign mercenaries that the UAE is flying in to Sudan.

In September, Sudan formally informed the UN Security Council that the UAE was recruiting Colombian mercenaries to murder civilians on our soil. Today, the U.S. sanctioned the exact company and founder we identified. This is only the beginning—accountability is catching up.

This sanction falls well short of Biden's response to the genocidal attacks on Geneina 2 years ago which actually targeted RSF commanders themselves. How can we be expected to think that this is a sufficient response to RSF crimes when they arent touched?

These are the individuals behind the massacres, looting, and terror in #Sudan. Unless these people are held accountable and sanctioned, everything else that is done is meaningless and empty.

The U.S. State Dept. today issued a press statement that speaks of “Sanctioning a Transnational Network Fueling the Conflict in #Sudan” Incredibly, the document does not mention the #UAE, but rather focuses on #Colombian mercenaries—who of course are financed by the UAE! This

Everything I have said so far about the Colombian mercenaries has now been confirmed by the U.S. Treasury Office today.

List of Countries that the UAE has recruited mercenaries from to fight alongside their genocidal militia proxy in Sudan. Chad 🇹🇩 South Sudan 🇸🇸 Niger 🇳🇪 Central African Republic 🇨🇫 Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Libya 🇱🇾 Russia (Wagner) 🇷🇺 Ukraine 🇺🇦 Colombia 🇨🇴 Syria 🇸🇾

The Maltese Herald is extremely concerned about the health and security of Muammar Ibrahim and we are requesting high-level diplomats and world leaders to engage with the United Arab Emirates to put pressure on the RSF to release him immediately. https://t.co/HesFPFHFkv

If there wasn’t footage showing that it was a gathering of RSF militiamen; I can almost guarantee you that it would have been reported as “a strike that killed civilians.” The guided drone missiles that the Sudanese Army is reliant on are so prohibitively expensive for it to

UAE Leadership’s Relations With the West Tested Over Backing of the Rapid Support Militia Behind Sudan’s Atrocities A reading of The Telegraph article: “UAE royal brothers’ ties with West threatened by Sudan massacre” by Adrian Blomfield A recent article in The Telegraph,

We just received the news about two of my uncle’s (SAF commanders) passing away while defending their land and home in BABANOSA,may they rest in peace and for ALLh to expect the as a Marty’s And FK the UAE for funding and supporting those genocidal militia

What an unbelievably cowardly move it is for the Trump Administration to sanction Colombian companies and mercenaries who are fighting for the RSF in Sudan, but to make absolutely no mention of the regime that has signed the contract and paid the bills!

The "Student's massacre" of Kumo in the Nuba mountains and how Manchester-based "Sudan.Updates" amplified RSF propaganda while he chose to forgoe the actual killing of kindergarteners by the RSF:

Notable that Hemedti’s RSF is hardly the first neo-colonial venture backed by UAE’s Al Nahyans, but the scale of RSF violence has brought unexpected reputational fallout & drawn rare scrutiny onto them & the firms through which they project influence. https://t.co/UAllbiEEOG

Claims independent on website but also Government funded. It’s been a year since the Sudanese Air Force switched to drones (which have significantly lower risk of civilian collateral risk). So why publish this now and without full statistical context? A cynical person would say

This feels a lot like sample bias. Yes, any attacks on civilian insfrastructure should be condemned, but unless we know the total number of all unguided bomb attacks how do we compare them to the number attacks on civilians? This lacks a lot of nuance.

More weapons deliveries for RSF

Abu Dhabi's 'connevtivity project' can be likened to the East India Company's expansion in the 1600s It has made Abu Dhabi too big to criticise (even when underwriting the RSF's massacres) as weaponised interdependence compells the world to silence https://t.co/fRycbduOlx

The liberal peace processes have contributed to chronic conflicts by rewarding war lords and turning war into a profitable inter-generational business.
