It’s extraordinary that all the developed nations of the world don’t seem able to name the country who is funding and arming the medieval death squads RSF committing humanitarian atrocities in Sudan. Why not? Don’t they know who is arming and funding them? What is preventing them ? #Sudan

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

Not enough people are paying attention to this. The UAE is fueling the civil war in Sudan, arming the RSF who the Trump admin admits is committing a genocide. And yet, this admin refuses to hold them accountable. We should be asking why. x.com/nickkristof/...

We on the left really need to start treating the UAE with the same contempt for its (US-enabled) genocide in Sudan as we do Israel for its (US-enabled) genocide in Occupied Palestine.
So here's a (not so) fun fact: The RSF is hugely funded and supported by the UAE, who famously gave Trump's cryptocurrency half a billion dollars days before the inauguration. And this is probably the first time you've heard about any of this.

The genocide in Sudan by United Arab Emirates' proxy RSF / Janjaweed is 'just' one of the multiple ongoing genocides that the United States is allowing. Recent US sanctions have hit the military junta more than RSF & there are no sanctions on its main backer UAE or Ethiopia for its support to RSF.
'A human rights investigator told British MPs... that the UK had evidence linking Ethiopia and the Emirates to the RSF in 2024 – but that officials said they would not divulge it publicly following “significant” UAE pressure. There is evidence of British military equipment being used by the RSF.'
